Her recent work includes the Apsaalooke Art & Traditions catalogue, which now resides in collections such as the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian.

Several published and emerging authors have trusted Asha with peer review of their manuscripts. Works reviewed include a collection of personal essays about cultural identity in Japan, a memoir about growing up in Indiana, and a screenplay about teenage romance on a Native American reservation.

Asha's undergraduate studies at New York University (B.A.) focused on authorial voice and the influence of multiculturalism in literature, and included fieldwork with international populations. Her graduate thesis at The New School University (M.F.A.) discussed specific considerations of writing to audiences of non-homogenous cultural backgrounds, as varied readers will have different interpretations of a written work.
