Adventure Academy West

Staff & Teachers

Ever since I can remember my passion was to be an educator and work with children. I attended Widener University for Elementary Education, and I have 17 years of experience inside and outside of the classroom. I taught Pre-K for 5 years and fell in love with watching their smiles shine bright whenever they learn something new! As for me, I was born and raised in Orwigsburg, and love the small-town atmosphere. My family consists of my husband, Ryan, and our 2 cats, Mila and Maisie. I love summertime, cats, making charcuterie boards, spending time with friends and family.
