Connecting embodied

and community work
to explore meaning
through lived
experience.
This is me
Have Hope and Live Well.
Across many origins, Asha means Hope and Life — or one who lives well. My name is a reflection of who I am and a guiding force behind my work. The stories shared with me about its meaning inspire my commitment to lifelong learning about myself, others, and the world around us. Hope and life remind me to work toward futures where we can be and live well.
I collaborate with teams and communities to curate research‑supported initiatives inspired by everyday living, movement, and embodied experiences.
I am an interdisciplinary educator and scholar whose work spans teaching, creative practice, and community engagement. My interests focus on everyday living, embodiment, sensory engagement, and leisure, and how these experiences shape learning, connection, and community. I explore these areas through visual media, writing, and collaborative projects informed by lived experience.
Drawing on aesthetic, embodied, sensory, and visual methodologies, my work examines how everyday experiences shape learning and connection. Through visual media and art-based inquiry, I explore how daily life becomes a site of meaning-making and social development.
Additionally, I am the Founder and Director of scholHER, an organization advancing racial and gender equity through research, programming, and collective practice. I am also the Founder and Director of ASHARE, a consulting practice focused on equity and community development. Across these organizations, I support interdisciplinary projects and organizational development that are reflective, connected, and responsive to the environments people navigate.
