Meet Our Team
Andrea Karpiak-Feasel, M.Ed.
Andie Karpiak-Feasel’s leadership is rooted in her deep commitment to Mid-Ohio Adult Education, where she serves as Program Director.

She enjoys building relationships with students, staff, residents, and community leaders, believing that strong community collaboration not only supports adult learners but enriches the region as a whole. She is also a proud member of Altrusa International, where she enjoys serving the community and contributing to meaningful local service initiatives.
Beyond her program-level leadership, Andie contributes to the field statewide through her role as Communications Chair for OAACE, Ohio’s adult education association. She helps shape the organization’s messaging, raises public awareness, and manages OAACE’s Facebook presence, capturing photos, creating engaging posts, and spotlighting the powerful work happening across the state.
