Professional Bio

Ayesha cannot seem to squelch her passion for learning. She earned a BA in Romance Languages at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. At the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, she earned her Master’s Degree in Education with a concentration in Spanish Teacher Leadership and her Doctorate in Educational Studies with a focus on Teacher Education.

She taught for almost 20 years and is the current Interim Director of the Office of Transformation and Inclusion at Guilford College. She is the former Director of Diversity and Belonging, Upper School Spanish teacher, and the founder of the student group Student Diversity Leadership Council (SDLC) at Greensboro Day School. Ayesha also has a passion for language learning, cultural engagement, and diversity and a fondness for teaching with digital technology. In her career, she has organized various cultural events at both the school and district levels. She also loves traveling and has led domestic and international student trips. Underneath all of the different hats she wears as an educator, she feels blessed to be able to learn about the infinite perspectives and experiences of others continuously.

She loves to sing with the choir at her church, and she lives in McLeansville with her supportive spouse and two wonderful children. When she wants to let her brain rest, she reads cheesy romance novels, watches cartoons, and dances like everyone is watching.
