Helping Performers Thrive Onstage, Offstage, and Online

Actress, Educator, and Career Coach empowering artists to build confidence, clarity, and sustainable careers.

Hi there! I’m Ashlee.

I grew up on my family farm along Route 66 in Oklahoma, where my love for storytelling started long before I ever set foot on a stage. After earning my BM in Musical Theatre, I headed straight to NYC, determined to make a career in this industry. From there, my path took me to stages all over the world, performing internationally and embracing every opportunity that came my way. Along the journey, I earned my MFA in Musical Theatre, became a professor, built my own businesses, and carved out a career as a multi-hyphenate performer and mentor.

My journey has been anything but linear, and that’s exactly what I love about it. I’ve performed on stages across the world, taught the next generation of artists, and now, I’m exploring new creative paths on camera—through my YouTube channel, on-screen acting, and digital content creation. Along the way, I met my incredible husband, Tim Espinosa, while we were both performing at sea. Together, we’re living our dream of a bicoastal lifestyle as teaching artists, balancing work, creativity, and community.

Today, I balance my time between performing and teaching, embracing both as essential parts of my artistic journey. As an actress, I bring complex, layered female-driven stories to life on stage and on screen. As a mentor and career coach, I help performers navigate the ever-evolving industry, build their online presence, and approach auditions with confidence in this digital-first era.

I believe in meeting artists where they are, whether they’re stepping into their first professional audition, navigating their online presence, or redefining their career path. Through my coaching, I provide actionable tools, industry insights, and a supportive community to help performers take control of their careers and build a sustainable future in the arts.

No matter where you start, I truly believe that with persistence, strategy, and passion, you can carve out a career that is uniquely your own.
