Hello! My name is Laura, and I am thrilled to be interning with VSA this year. I grew up dancing and singing in Indiana and studied Vocal Performance at Indiana University. After graduation, I spent a year in Boston as an AmeriCorps volunteer with ReadBoston’s Reading Trail program and then moved abroad to Seoul to teach Kindergarten and study Korean. Most recently, I worked as an instructional coach for a children’s literacy organization in Chicago and am currently studying Arts in Education at Harvard.
What are your favorite pastimes?
"Dancing, singing, spending time with my niece and nephew (writing songs and plays, having dance parties, reading and making up stories before bed), sitting in kitchens talking with family and friends, playing euchre, drinking chai tea lattes, baking treats, and reenacting movie scenes."
If you could be a cartoon character, who would you be?
"Alice in Wonderland - She had such wonderful adventures and had the opportunity to meet so many delightfully bizarre characters."

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."
