Ashley Hebert Rosenbaum Celebrates Finally Paying Off Over $400k in Student Debt in Her 40s
She did it!
Fans got to know and love Ashley Hebert Rosenbaum on Season 7 of “The Bachelorette.” Outside of Bachelor Nation, Ashley is the lead pediatric dentist at Premier Pediatric Dentistry.
According to her website, she “graduated summa cum laude from the University of Maine with a top grade point average” and went on to earn an Ivy League education at the “prestigious University of Pennsylvania where she graduated in the top 10% of her class.”
But all of that hard-earned success came with a cost many healthcare workers know too well.
Ashley took to her Instagram Stories this week, writing, “No one talks about what it takes to pursue a career in healthcare. These days, it's not for the weak. Today is a big day for me.”
The mom of two continued, “At 41, I finally paid off my student loans. $420,000 later.”
Such a major accomplishment!
She even shared a screenshot of her account showing a balance of $0, something worth celebrating.
Fans quickly filled her DMs with love and congratulations, and the former Bachelorette replied, “I want to say that you all are really so sweet, thank you for all the messages! I will try to respond to each one!”
We’re so happy for Ashley on this huge milestone, and we know her candidness will make so many others feel seen.
