Ashleigh Wilkes received her Bachelor in Business Administration, with a focus in Finance, from the University of Texas, and then went on to pursue her Doctorate in Jurisprudence from Texas Tech School of Law. After finishing her education, she practiced commercial litigation and Family Law. Though the legal field was interesting, it did not fulfill her passion of working with children in need.

Her legal and business backgrounds give her a unique perspective in the field of child welfare.
