Hi, I'm Flossy! I was born and raised in Accra Ghana, lived in Massachusetts for four years and I am presently back in Massachusetts after five and a half years in Sendai, Japan. I'm in the International Education Policy program at Harvard Graduate School of Education for the Ed.M class of 2016.
What are your favorite pastimes?
"I love music and I love to dance! I love all sorts of music and I don't need to understand the lyrics to be able to sing the song if I'm listening to something good. It brings me joy to cook, and gather people to share in quality time centered around the appreciation of food. Eating brings me joy, especially traveling to different countries and indulging in the local cuisine."
If you could be a cartoon character, who would you be?
"Captain Planet. He has green hair, friends from around the world AND he saves the Earth!"
You are trapped on an island. What three items do you want to have with you?
"Chocolate, coconuts, music and someone to talk to. I need four."
Do you have any uncommon talents or quirks?
"I feel the need to open things the 'right' way. Presents, letters, packages of any sort are always explored and opened in the least destructive way by me."
What brings you to VSA?
"I'm at VSA because it is the best place for me right now. It is the perfect space to learn and grow in all the things that I would like to do. I have a passion for the Arts and I believe in the importance of integrating Art into other subject areas, and for more prominence of the Arts in School. Additionally I am a strong advocate for inclusive classrooms and I desire to see more inclusive classrooms in Ghana. VSA is an invaluable opportunity for me to have some field experience in the things I am interested in."
What are you doing during your internship?
"As an intern I am helping out with the COOL Schools program and focusing on expanding VSA Massachusetts' presence on social media."
