Ashton holds a Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of Manitoba and is a certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with the NSCA. She is continuing her education through Yorkville University working towards a master's in counselling psychology. Ashton played in the Manitoba Premier Softball League for 7 years competing in both western and national championships. Her time in the sport naturally steered her to take a special interest in tackling the training needs of softball and baseball athletes; delving into how to maximize output and minimize injury risk. 

She has also focused on the development of our youth athletes and how to implement the Long-term Athlete Development Model in a high-performance setting. When she’s not in the gym she enjoys playing golf with friends, listening to live music, and heading home to see family.
