Ashley is an avid fan of all things food and beverage, especially when it comes to the unique confectionery space. She likes long trips to old fashion candy shoppes, a visit to a local brewery and a unique cocktail. The best thing she ever ate was a filo dough-wrapped Alaskan Salmon made by a family friend.
