Project Manager

Hi! My name is Ashley, and I am excited to help establish a second home for Greenwich Play in Boston! Born and raised in upstate New York, I was drawn to the cozy coastal towns and the vibrant history of New England. I moved to Boston in 2013, and what followed was a classic “girl meets boy” kind of story, which led to more permanent roots in Massachusetts.

I have always had an affinity for working with children, and knew from an early age that my career would involve teaching in some capacity. I went on to receive a degree in Childhood Education, and a Masters in Literacy Instruction, which led to my dream job in a small private school in Chestnut Hill. As I worked with the school’s youngest learners, I became increasingly interested in understanding how play can motivate problem solving and critical thinking skills. I felt there was more I could do to help families establish effective, integrated, and authentic learning opportunities outside of the classroom.

When I discovered Greenwich play, I immediately connected with their mission, and haven’t looked back. I can’t wait to bring your favorite purposeful play space designs to the Greater Boston Area!
