Health & Physical Eduction

About Me:

I grew up in Pine Grove, PA with my family of five. I'm the oldest of the Lesh kids. I love to garden, cook/bake/EAT, hike, spend time with family and friends, and decorate my new house! I got married on April 14th, 2023. I am now living in Lebanon County with my husband, Alec, and our cat, Daisy. 

I graduated from Lebanon Valley College in 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science where I learned about the importance of physical activity and the negative impact of sedentary lifestyles on our wellness. I decided I wanted to become an advocate for health promotion and disease prevention while interning in Cardiac Rehab at Lancaster General Health. I have since taught Health and Physical Education in Palmyra at the elementary and high school levels while earning my Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education from Lock Haven University in 2022. I am loving teaching Health and PE to my Forge Road and Northside Elementary students while working toward my Masters of Science in Lifelong Wellness Through Innovative Leadership from Slippery Rock University. This is my third official year as a Health and PE teacher in Palmyra.

I am passionate about my job and value teaching kids how to take care of the bodies they will have for the rest of their lives. I am so excited for the 2024-2025 school year!
