About+Me

Hi! My name is Ashley Duncan, though chances are, if you're here, you are one of my students. Meaning you already know that I teach Geometry and Geometry Essentials at Canyon Del Oro High School. First, I'll tell you a little about my family. My dad is a patent attorney who works for Elevance. My mother is a stay-at-home mom who was always there to shuttle me and my sisters around before we could drive. I have three older sisters: Emily, Lindsay and Kelly. The oldest, Emily, has been married for eleven years to Duane, and she has two wonderful kids, Ainsley and Eli. (I could not love anyone more.) They live just five minutes away from my apartment so I play with them all the time :). Lindsay is working on finishing her masters from BYU in Marriage and Family Therapy. Kelly just graduated from law school at Fordham University in NYC. I love my family and am grateful that I still get to spend all of the Holidays with them.

I grew up in Naperville, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago.) I attended Prairie Elementary, Washington Junior High, and Naperville North High. At North, I was involved in a lot of activities. I strongly believe that it is important to be involved in your high school. I lettered in both the swim team and the water polo team. For various years of high school I was also involved with the Math Team, Scholastic Bowl, Chess Team, Key Club, Religious Roundtable, and the National Honor Society. Being involved in so many activities gives you the chance to make a lot of friends and really get a lot out of your high school experience.

After high school, I attended Brigham Young University. While there, I majored in Math Education, though I also enjoyed dabbling in other fields. I studied Italian for a year and then spent my fall semester of my Junior year doing a study abroad located in Siena, Italy. It was a blast and I took over 6000 pictures (in a three month span). BYU was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone.

As far as my other hobbies go, there are probably two that I enjoy the most, and they also tend to go hand-in-hand: Traveling and Photography. Thanks to my wonderful parents, I have had the opportunity to travel to more countries than states. I have been to: Canada, United Kingdom, Austria, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Jamaica, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, Egypt, Israel, China, Tanzania, Kenya, and Russia. I always takes thousands of pictures on my trip and have always been very interested in photography. If there is anything else you want to know, feel free to stop by and ask me. :)
