About Miss Frees

My name is Amanda Frees and I am the Green Valley Elementary School Counselor for students in grades 3-5! It is such an honor to work with the students, families, staff, and community here at GV!

Some background information on me: I grew up in Berks County and graduated from Muhlenberg High School. I then attended University of Pittsburgh studying dental hygiene. I worked as a dental hygienist for 5 years in Frederick, Maryland. I later found my passion of being a counselor and working with students. From 2017-2020, I worked as a paraprofessional in the Reading School District with special education students while I completed my graduate degree. During my time at Northeast Middle School in Reading, I coached Girls on the Run and was involved in their Aevidum club. I spent the 2020-2021 school year interning next door at Wilson West with Mrs. Allred. I am now in my second year here at Green Valley!

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, loving on my cat Gia, hiking and walking trails, watching movies, eating out at new restaurants, and riding my Peloton!

I strive to provide a safe, confidential space for students to share concerns, ask questions, and offer a listening ear. I follow an open-door policy, inviting students to visit me regardless of the reason. I look forward to working getting to know you and your student!
