the founder and principal strategist of GRF, a boutique financial firm committed to empowering small businesses with high-level financial expertise delivered with a personal touch. A first-generation college graduate who earned her degree with honors, Ashley has spent her career breaking barriers and building bridges—first in the corporate world, where she spent eight years at a Fortune 500 company earning accolades for her business acumen, and now as an entrepreneur serving clients across sectors.
Her analytical approach, combined with an unwavering dedication to people, has become the foundation of the GRF brand. With more than a decade of experience spanning corporate, manufacturing, and retail industries, Ashley leads her clients with clarity, compassion, and results.
Passionate about giving back, Ashley serves as Board Member and Treasurer of the S.O. What! Foundation and holds leadership roles in several other nonprofit organizations. Whether she’s mentoring youth or guiding aspiring entrepreneurs, Ashley remains committed to creating lasting, community-rooted impact.
When she’s not building business strategies or balancing books, Ashley is at home in her happiest roles: wife, mother of four, undisputed kitchen MVP, and mystery enthusiast (books and movies alike). She believes that purpose, when paired with service, is the most powerful tool for change.
