Ashley has spent most of her life in the Black Hills and proudly calls Rapid City home. A 2010 graduate of Stevens High School, Ashley began her college journey at Black Hills State University before transferring to National American University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2016. Over the years, she has worked in a variety of fields—including retail, hospitality, and healthcare—gaining valuable experience that shaped her holistic approach to patient care.Her healthcare career began as a Certified Nursing Assistant at a specialized Alzheimer’s and dementia care facility. She later joined a vascular inpatient unit as a Patient Care Technician and soon transitioned to a Registered Nurse role. After nearly 4.5 years in inpatient care, she moved to the vascular outpatient clinic, serving as a Patient Navigator for 2.5 years.
Ashley’s passion lies in vascular nursing. She has a deep understanding of vascular disease processes and is dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized care that drives positive patient outcomes. Her top priority is patient safety, and she is known for her flexibility and empathy—always taking into account the unique needs of the local population.She is excited to begin this new chapter and to offer another high-quality healthcare option for the Black Hills community. If you become one of her patients, she looks forward to meeting you, learning about your needs, and working together to improve your vascular health. The seriousness of vascular conditions demands nothing less than exceptional care—and Ashley is committed to delivering exactly that.
Ashley says "Cardiovascular care isn’t just about managing a diagnosis—it’s about caring for the whole person. Heart disease can be overwhelming, and every patient’s journey is different. As a nurse and a practice manager, I see my role as not only providing skilled, evidence-based care, but also offering reassurance, education, and emotional support every step of the way. My goal is to build trust, help patients feel empowered in their health decisions, and ensure they never feel alone in navigating their condition. Compassion, communication, and continuity of care are essential in helping our patients live healthier, fuller lives."
She enjoys the outdoors, especially during the summer months, with activities like camping, fishing, kayaking, and hiking through the Hills. Most of all, she values quality time with her husband and their three children.
