Ashley Anderson is an African-American & Mexican-American actress based in Chicago and DFW. As the daughter to a minister and a musician, Ashley often found inspiration for her craft through music. Recently, Ashley graduated from the The Theatre School conservatory at DePaul University with her MFA in Acting. She received her B.A. in Theatre from Texas Christian University with a minor in Arts Leadership & Entrepreneurship.

Ashley works toward bridging the gap between underrepresented communities and theatre spaces. Currently she strides toward this goal as a creative artist in residence at a children's hospital & a mentor for high school students in the South Side. She is also an Epilepsy Awareness Ambassador with the Epilepsy Foundation of America. As someone who grew up with loved ones experiencing disabilities, Ashley is a strong advocate for those on their healing journey.

Recently Ashley discovered a love for pageantry. Opening the door to her younger self showed a room inside herself that she never knew existed. Ashley participated in Miss Texas USA in 2024 as Miss Panther City, and she continues to pursue pageants alongside acting.

Ashley is passionate about language learning, avant-garde fashion & streetwear, nurturing old hobbies like playing guitar, tennis, baking, and going to dance classes.
