Born and raised in Ferndale, Ca, Ashley is a Humboldt County native that knows the area like the back of her hand. Ashley is a first-generation American, her family immigrated to the United States from the Azores Islands in the 1960s where her grandfather, Joe Rosa, worked as a dairyman milking cows, and her grandmother, Maria Rosa, cleaned local families' homes and the Ferndale Police Dept for 30 years. A family of hard workers is an understatement. Ashley has dedicated 8 years of her life to nursing where she worked with the elderly and had continued her education about dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Not only does Ashley have compassion and patience, she also has a love for Humboldt County and its members. Ashley is very involved in the community, she is a committee member for the Portuguese Holy Ghost Celebration that takes place in Ferndale, CA yearly and for the last two years she has sat on the policy council board for the North Coast Children's Services as Vice-Chair. Ashley is family-oriented and treats her clients as such. Ashley and her husband Brandon have three children and during their free time, they love to go hiking around Humboldt County’s amazing redwood forest. Whether in nursing or in Real Estate, Ashley takes pride in helping others, being personable and honest goes a long way. She will make the buying/selling process organized and stress-free. Your Real Estate needs are in good hands. “When it came to being a Realtor there was no question on why, I just love helping people. It didn’t matter if it was in Nursing or Real Estate, assisting others and bringing people peace of mind is why I do it, and that gives me the greatest joy. Humboldt County is my home and to think that I will help other families find their forever home is exciting. I remember buying my first home in 2018 and I had an amazing Realtor that helped me along the way. Her kindness, knowledge, and overall professionalism has inspired me to be the Realtor I am today.”
