Mandy first came to Songa in 2012 as the Director of Dramatics. She immediately fell in love with Vermont, Lake Dunmore, and camp life. Mandy is thrilled to return to Songa for her ninth summer to head the Dramatics program first month. She is most excited about supporting campers to explore and achieve in areas of their choosing, outside of the typical academic framework. During the school year, Mandy is a learning specialist with a passion for teaching structured literacy. In her free time, she enjoys playing with her young children, being outdoors, doing yoga, and listening to podcasts. Mandy lives in Tarrytown, New York with her husband, Peter (a long-time Keewaydin staff member and former camper), and their two children, Ellis and Amelia.
