Hannah currently lives in Winton, Central West QLD where she works as a teacher.
Born and raised on the Gold Coast, Hannah’s first involvement with ICPA was attending Mount Isa Branch of the Air Sports for Bush Kids week in 2017 on behalf of her employer at the time. She spent the week coaching students from Mount Isa School of the Air in several team sports and getting a glimpse at what life was like for geographically isolated children. This experience made her fall in love with rural Australia and recognise the inequitable education for rural and remote children. Since then, Hannah has been a governess, lived and worked in boarding schools in south-east Queensland and taught in rural classrooms. With these varied contexts, she has witnessed the benefit of ICPA’s advocacy.
She is extremely passionate about bridging the rural-urban education divide having completed her Masters of Education thesis specialising in Boarding School transitions for rural students moving to a metropolitan boarding school.
