Howdy! I’m Hannah, a proud two-time graduate of WSU currently pursuing my PhD in education, and an active member of the Pullman community. Currently, I work at the Neill Public Library as the Youth Services Assistant and as a Substitute Teacher in the Pullman School District. I’ve been grateful to get to spend time with so many educators, students, families, and community members in my roles. I’m running to be a member of the school board because public education affects all of us. It’s in part because of invested community members who served on my local school board that I received a well-rounded, evidence-based K-12 education. As someone who has lived in Pullman on and off for nine years, I care deeply about this community and the future generations that will inherit it. I am vehemently anti-censorship, and am ready to combat the rampant misinformation surrounding our education system. I can promise that I’ll always show up for Pullman families, especially when hard choices must be made. I’m not interested in playing politics or getting an ego boost from this position; instead, I offer a caring, thoughtful, unbiased viewpoint to the community that has offered so much to me.
