Ashley Skolits
Hello! My name is Ashley Skolits, and I'll be teaching History Through American Girl.
I am a lifelong American Girl fan with a love for reading, history, and imaginative play.
I earned my bachelor's degree in Primatology and Anthropology from Miami University in Ohio. After graduation, I spent several months in Tanzania studying wildlife and working with conservation efforts.
I later worked with a family of bonobos at the Cincinnati Zoo before stepping away from my career to raise my daughters. In addition to teaching with PEAK, I also host American Girl-themed parties throughout our community.
I love making history come alive through storytelling, imaginative play, and hands-on activities. In each class, I share historical dolls, books, clothing, and accessories from my extensive American Girl collection, giving students the opportunity to see and explore the stories they're learning about in a tangible way.
My goal is for every student to leave class feeling inspired, engaged, and excited to learn more about history.
