She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Human Development, and a Master’s in Education from Loyola University Maryland. Ashley is a certified Primary Montessori Guide (ages 3–6) through the Washington Montessori Institute and is currently enrolled in the School Leadership Course with the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) Canada. She has helped start Montessori programs and schools from the ground up and is thrilled to bring her experience and enthusiasm to Kecskemét.

She also enjoys reading - especially history and philosophy books, and exploring nature through hiking — all of which inspire the calm, mindful, and joyful atmosphere she brings to the classroom. She truly appreciates collaborating with families in guiding each child’s growth and discovery.
