Marianna went to Piedmont Virginia Community College for two years after graduating high school where she obtained her associates degree. She then applied and transferred to the University of Virginia. At UVA, Marianna participated in SAL, a national leadership and honors organization, majored in psychology, and obtained her bachelors degree.

“I chose to work at The Keswick School because I wanted to be part of a strong community dedicated to helping others succeed. I believe it is important to help others discover and acquire lifelong skills in which they can carry with them and use confidently. Working at The Keswick School is not only an opportunity to help others learn and grow, but also provides an opportunity for me to give back to my community and foster in others the values and support that I received.”

Marianna likes hanging out with her friends, playing with her cat, and going to the beach. Additionally, Mariana enjoys tending to her multitude of house plants as well as creating art. Specifically: drawing, painting with water color, making collages, and textile crafts such as small scale crocheting/knitting is what Marianna enjoys most.
