I feel lucky to work with this amazing community of staff, students and families. As a half-time counselor for each school, I work one-on-one with students who need extra support, run small groups, and teach classroom lessons on problem solving and SEL (social-emotional learning). I serve all students at the school and any student can contact me to check-in as needed. Feel free to contact me by email with any questions or concerns you have about your student!

Hannah has been a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) in the school setting since 2017. Prior to working in the school setting, Hannah worked as a medical SLP in a pediatric hospital in Portland, Oregon, starting in 2015. In the hospital setting, Hannah provided treatment to kids birth to 18 with pediatric dysphagia, expressive/receptive language disorders, autism spectrum disorder, apraxia, articulation/phonological disorders, and more. Hannah completed her masters degree at Washington State University. She has always had a passion for helping children communicate so they can successfully navigate their world.

When Hannah is not working, you can find her hiking, teaching ski lessons, paddle boarding, playing volleyball, or rock climbing.

I've been a nurse for over 20 years and have worked in various healthcare settings, but being a school nurse is by far my favorite! I've been with SPS since 2018, and this is my second year at Lawton. I love that Lawton is small enough for me to really connect with my students and their families. I have three kids and a rescue dog named Maddy, who enjoys walks and stealing my popcorn!
