Amanda, her husband, Michael, and their two young sons, Charlie & Jack, moved to Skaneateles in 2020, after living in Connecticut for 12 years. They knew they wanted to move to be closer to their families in Lansing, NY and found Skaneateles to be the perfect community to raise their boys. As a former 1st grade teacher in Darien, CT and a K-4 reading specialist and literacy coach in Ellington, CT, Amanda is particularly passionate about early childhood education. While working at these districts, she witnessed firsthand the importance of the home-school connection where educators, parents, and the community work together to maximize student learning. Amanda is now thrilled to be joining the SEF team to continue this meaningful work.
