Tasha M. Myers

Tasha M. Myers’ broad experiences in leadership development, program creation and expansion, professional development, and access and support are paramount to her role as the Director of Student Leadership and Engagement.

Why were you interested in working at UNCSA?

In addition to higher education, I’ve also worked behind the scenes producing fashion shows, concerts, theater productions, hair shows, cooking shows, and pageants, as well as many projects doing hair, make-up for dance competitions & productions, crafting, and graphic design. While I’m new to UNCSA, I’ve long appreciated the work that it takes to be an artist and I’m excited to be able to combine my passions in my everyday work.

What’s your favorite thing to do in your free time?

I love hanging out with my family, including my husband Rob, and my kids, Jackson and Taj. I might be biased, but we’re all pretty cool, and we each have our own connection with and interest in the arts.
