A southern girl from Arkansas, Ashley Park now lives in Los Angeles. Growing up in Little Rock, where her multi-ethnic background can easily take a backseat to the southern world of football, grits and gravy, Ashley keeps it alive through language, food and travel with her mother, a Pusan native. She is also this year's Miss Korea USA 2015 in the Miss Asia USA Cultural Pageant. Ashley entered the world of athletics at a young age, becoming a competitive athlete for many years. As an award-winning swimmer and 9-time state champion in cross-country and track, training was her top priority. She went on to run for the University of Arkansas, successfully competing as a Division 1 athlete for one of the top long-distance running schools in the country. An avid writer and foreign language enthusiast, Ashley received her bachelor's degree in journalism and Spanish, graduating early with honors and the title of an All-SEC Academic Athlete. With aspirations of acting since childhood, Ashley transitioned into another competitive environment soon after graduating, waltzing off to the bright lights of Hollywood. Now a working actress in Los Angeles, Ashley has studied under the watchful eye of many teachers, keeping her focus on film and television. After a brief stint on the soap opera Days of Our Lives, Ashley has been fortunate enough to star in four feature films set to be released in the U.S. and internationally over the next year, and has many other projects in the works. Never one to back down from a challenge, Ashley aspires to make her mark on the world of indie filmmaking, with stories that inspire hope, self-confidence and courage. A true believer in the power of storytelling to make an impact on society, she is determined to create more films that will send positive messages to young people.
