Joy Harrell Goff, an educator and performing artist, serves as Executive Director and Visionary Conductor of BUMP (Boston Urban Music Project), now known as BUMP: The Triangle. She has been described as having an unshakable belief in the power of artistic expression to protect, save, and change lives. She pursued higher education at North Carolina Central University, University of Northern Iowa, and the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City, earning degrees in music, theater, and education. Her top priorities are to invest in student learning; create safer spaces in the schools; and to center students, communities, and educators. During her campaign, Harrell said, “It is important to use a lens of equity and humanity to create safer teaching and learning spaces for the retention and recruitment of diverse teachers and staff for our beautifully diverse student population.”
