Kelly Kniha

location Pittsburgh, PA

I became a teacher because I’ve always enjoyed learning new things and I can contribute the most by sharing my curiosity and enthusiasm with students. Being part of a wide support network for students and positively impacting so many lives makes working at Achievement House especially rewarding.

Personal Bio

I live in Pittsburgh with my wife and young son. We moved back to Pennsylvania in 2019 after living in Beijing for ten years. I enjoy traveling, reading, and video games. Malaysia was my favorite place to visit because it was so unique. I mostly read books about history or politics. My favorite games are Super Smash Bros and RPGs.
