My name is Hannah, and I am so excited to be SENIA’s Events Manager! Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, I became a third culture kid when my family moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2000. After spending 10 years there and graduating in international education, I fell in love with life abroad and the idea of teaching overseas, so choosing education as my university major was an easy decision. But it was volunteering with a Special Olympics program that led me to pursue special education specifically, and since starting my career, my goal has always been to make education more accessible and inclusive for all.
I have been based in Bangkok, Thailand since August 2020, when I joined International School Bangkok as the Elementary Life Centered Education teacher. Before moving to Bangkok, my career began with a similar teaching position at the International School of Brussels. Now, after 8 years of working with an amazing neurodiverse population of students and some incredible educators, I am looking forward to being a part of the great work SENIA does around the world.
A lifelong learner myself, I am currently enrolled in a Disability Studies graduate program that elevates the often underrepresented voices of self-advocates. Outside of school and work, I love travel, food, and sports – particularly boxing and Muay Thai. I also love meeting people all over the world, so let’s connect!
