Ascher is responsible for supporting the Senior Director, Marketing and Communications at Disability Belongs™ in developing and implementing advocacy efforts and communications of various types.

Ascher graduated from Goucher College in May 2016 as a communications major and political science minor.

He is excited to help Disability Belongs™ build on its messaging because he cares deeply about the work that the organization does every day.

Through his coursework and internship experience, he has gained experience writing short and long-form blog posts, social media posts, and press releases. He also has filmed and edited videos, designed websites and print flyers, proofread documents, and completed research projects. In his free time, he enjoys watching and podcasting about reality talent competition shows, keeping up with technology news, attending concerts, and playing video games.
