Aysha Upchurch Named VSA Employee of the Quarter

Aysha is the newest member of the VSA Massachusetts COOL Schools team, having joined this summer as Associate Director.  However, she is not new to the VSA family.  Last fall, Aysha interned as she pursued her Master’s Degree in Arts in Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.  She brings over 10 years of experience as a dancer, educator, teaching artist, arts administrator and social change agent along with a passion for arts-integrated inclusive learning and a determination to see the program thrive and grow.  Her can-do attitude and contagious energy have already influenced the COOL Schools staff and teaching artist team to move forward with clear and bold goals.  We want to celebrate her strong start by recognizing Aysha as Employee of the Quarter!
