Jayla graduated from Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter Public School in 2018, and currently attends school at University of Massachusetts Amherst, majoring in English and jazz voice. Jayla participated in the MAPS program for 4 years throughout high school, and despite being a new member of the board, still uses the skills and lessons MAPS taught her to implement in her performance at UMASS. She’s super excited to join the board and to continue learning, as well as offering any wisdom and knowledge she’s accumulated throughout graduation and college!
