Ashley Moore was born in California and works mostly as a professional model. Speaking to GQ, she shared that she didn't have a permanent city she could call home because her family moved around a lot since they were in the military. However, they stuck around in North Carolina for the longest. When she was only 17, Moore realized she wanted to do more with her life. So, she convinced her mother to let her move to Los Angeles to pursue modeling as a career.
Anyone would feel intimidated moving so far away from home at a young age, but for Moore, her passion and hard work kept her anxieties at bay. She shared her mindset at the time with Who What Wear, saying, "I was so excited when I moved to Los Angeles. I told myself, 'There's no way in hell I'm going back to North Carolina. I want to stay here, and I want to do this.' So it was grind time for me the moment I landed." She stayed true to her word and landed her first modeling contract within two weeks.
Moore has since modeled for big names like Victoria's Secret Pink, Marc Jacobs, and Réalisation Par. But the modeling industry hasn't been easy on her. In a toofab interview, she shared that she was turned away from jobs after being selected because the clothes didn't fit her as the designers intended. She also revealed that she couldn't land jobs for bizarre reasons like being too new to the industry. However, she eventually found success on the runway as well as on the small screen.
