Ashleigh Johns
Mrs Old North State
In 2009, Ashleigh graduated from Basic Law Enforcement Training with a Criminal Justice Degree. She discovered that her goal in life was to make a difference.
In 2012, she became a Corporal, and in 2013 she became a K9 handler. Working in many different areas of the department allowed her to find her true passion. She realized the problem of drug use was starting much earlier in teen’s lives, and unfortunately the age became younger and younger. Ashleigh had worked as a Habilitation technician before becoming a Law Enforcement Officer. Her eyes were truly opened for the first time while she worked as a HabTech. She met a troubled teen and formed a relationship with her that forever changed her view on this ever-growing problem. She realized then that if she started working with younger teens, she could help teach strong work ethic and confidence in a safe environment. So Ashleigh left her dream job and began working at her family business that employs mainly youth. This way, she has found a way to try to make a difference by potentially saving the futures of young adults and teens. Because she loves working as a Law Enforcement Officer and with youth, Ashleigh is now also a 911 dispatcher. She finally found her true passion in helping the youth. She hopes her passion will inspire young girls to follow their own dreams. Being a Law Enforcement Officer is just one way that Ashleigh gives back to her community, and she hopes younger girls use their passions to help the community as well.
Her passion has also led her to help our four legged friends. She rescues working dog breeds from shelters and finds wonderful homes for them. Ashleigh loves spending time with her retired K9, three rescue dogs, her wonderful husband, their beautiful three year old daughter, and their horses... when they don’t try and buck her off!
Needless to say, Ashleigh feels she has been blessed with the opportunity to follow her dream and make a difference. She hopes to inspire not only young girls, but everyone, to follow their passions, fulfill their dreams and make a positive difference. Ashleigh is proud to be with Elite Southern Charm as your 2021 Mrs. Old North State!
