Hana (She/Her) trained at Fiddleheads Forest School in Seattle, (another wonderful all-outdoors school) before moving back to Portland to be closer to her family and start her own forest school in 2020. As a teacher, she loves helping children feel at home in nature, listening to their creative ideas, making forts, and laughing at the jokes that her students make up. Her teacher passions include art, play theory, sensory needs, neurodiversity, and the science of early literacy.
Hana was raised in a big family that loved books and adventures. Since early childhood, she has lived a significant amount of her life overseas (in Central Africa, Central America, and the Middle East.) She still loves to travel but, after finishing her master’s degree in England in 2017, is happy to stay put a while and call the PNW home.
