Amanda Fraioli

Amanda Fraioli is a Teaching Assistant in Ridgebury Farm’s Nature-Based Learning Program, where she helps create hands-on outdoor experiences that encourage children to explore, be curious, and connect with the natural world. She enjoys supporting young learners as they build confidence, develop new skills, and discover the joy of learning through nature.

Amanda earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Western Connecticut State University. Prior to joining Ridgebury Farm, she worked as a Behavior Specialist at Devereux NY CARES and as a Teaching Assistant in the STEP Program at North Salem Middle School.

Amanda finds it especially rewarding to teach children how to care for the farm animals and loves being surrounded by them each day. Her favorite season is fall, when the farm is filled with crisp air and colorful foliage.
