“I feel so connected to our cozy city of Lancaster when I’m working at the CF. The people and atmosphere drive my creativity, and make me feel part of something other than my work..”

My career as a Health Educator began in a middle school classroom teaching health and life science.

This path grew into curriculum and program development for the non-profit world, including wellness and prevention outreach in the community and online health education content creation. Here at the Candy Factory, I work on lesson plan development for the Byrnes Health Education Center out of York.
