Ashlyn
Blessed Step Mom, age 26 and Mom to a 11 and 9 year old! Wife to wonderful hubby! My day job: Software Engineering Manager.
From the beautiful state of Maine
I enjoy woodworking, playing video games, golfing, crafting, painting, HGTV and watching football.
I love working with TJ’s Place of Hope. Meeting with youth and improving the way we communicate/provide resources to this great community. Personally, I’ve supported (some still with us, some perished…) close family struggling. Witnessing what mental illness, self-harm and addiction do to lives… I’ve also witnessed tremendous change and improvement!!!
I’m here to Help.
