Originally Asher intended to be a singer, undergoing classical vocal training at the New World School of the Arts in Miami, then continuing to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts to pursue a career in musical theater. However, while there she discovered a love for acting and film, earning a BA in drama and an MFA in Film.
