Ashley Clay is a middle school teacher, counselor, and success coach, and we get to talk to her this week all about study skills to help our teens with academic success. Ashley is not only very knowledgeable, she is also really fun! Her only flaw is that she doesn't like chocolate. (But don't worry, she makes up for that with the rest of her stunning awesomeness!)
