Chris Varela
Administrative Assistant
Location: Madison/Milwaukee
Chris joined the ACI team in the fall of 2017. She has a background in early childhood education and is a certified Montessori primary teacher. She spent eight years teaching young children aged 3-6 years old, including Kindergarten, before transitioning into administration. Upon moving to Green Bay from the Chicagoland area, she continued her career in service with a national mentoring program, followed by nearly a decade with a local family shelter serving pregnant and parenting young women.
In her free time, Chris enjoys cooking, music and volunteering at community events. She finds the quality of life is enhanced when spending time with friends – particularly her best friends, her husband and two young adult children.
