Dr. Ashley is interested in the general cardiovascular care of women and men and particularly interested in the care of women who experience adverse pregnancy outcomes which are known to predict a woman’s future cardiovascular risk. She strives to work with her obstetrical colleagues to identify women at risk, to help them modify their risk factors and in turn change the trajectory of their cardiovascular health.

Dr. Ashley is a passionate educator. She enjoys teaching at the bedside and in the community. She is enthusiastic about educating future physicians at various stages of learning as well as patients, family members, and the community. In the hospital, she enjoys helping learners improve their physical diagnostic and clinical reasoning skills while instilling the art of medicine. In the community, she engages individuals in discussion around cardiovascular health, health promotion, and self health advocacy.
