Welcome Mrs. Freese
From the desk of Mrs. Andrea Freese...
I'm proud and excited to join the Oley Valley High School Counseling team. I will be working with students whose last names begin with H-P. Although new to Oley Valley, I have nearly two decades of high school counseling experience. Before becoming a School Counselor, I spent ten years in Human Resources for a local truck body manufacturing company.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Millersville University and my Master’s degree from West Chester University. I reside in Exeter Township with my husband, daughter, and 3 very large dogs. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, refurbishing and restoring furniture, and traveling.
