she/her/hers

Hey there, I’m Hannah. I’ve been studying math and education for the last 5 to 6 years now. Although I have worked in childcare or education from infants to college students and adults with disabilities for over 10 years.

In short my obsessions, in no particular order, are learning (I’m aware of the cheesiness), crime shows, swimming, the dollar store, music in all forms, cleaning and lasagna.

I joined the SUMM team because I honestly believe that they are addressing the negative perception of Math when there’s a magic and wonder that Math holds for those who see it. The beauty of mathematics and how it integrates into our world is lost within memorization and test scores evidence. Honestly, all you need to know about me is that this is my dream job. I get to hang out with people, build relationships, and play with math. Most importantly I get to share the wonder that math holds and inspire others to examine the “why”.
