Originally from Evanston, just north of Chicago, Hannah’s search for schools connected to nature and experiential learning have led her around the country from Pennsylvania to Vermont and Wisconsin. She has most recently worked at the Watershed School in Colorado, and she is now completing her journey westward to Midland. 

Hannah enjoys being outside and active. Whether it’s biking, kayaking, canoeing, climbing, walking her dogs, doing yoga, or chasing her three-year-old son, she loves it all. She also enjoys making pottery, baking bread, and doing ikebana-style flower arrangements. Hannah has a black belt in Aikido and is looking forward to trading in her snowboard for a surfboard.
