Based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, Hannah originally worked with looked-after children in residential settings before qualifying as a teacher. Now a highly experienced teacher of A-level Psychology, Hannah is passionate about positive psychology, people and education, believing that bringing these together is vital in educating future generations to ensure their health, happiness and resilience. She has made it her mission to weave the practices of positive psychology into her life over the last 20 years, whether that be professional or personal.

Throughout her career, Hannah has worked with young people from a variety of backgrounds, including NEET, looked-after children, and children who have speech and language difficulties. After the birth of her first child, she took up a teaching and mentoring role and successfully led the Psychology Department at Scarborough Sixth Form for a number of years.
Alongside teaching A Level Psychology, Hannah is also a Teaching and Learning Educational Coach for staff. She is experienced in implementing a whole school positive education approach, leading on staff wellbeing initiatives and positive education training to enhance the mental wellbeing of both staff and students.

Hannah has also developed wellbeing workshops for students, which she runs weekly, as well as student wellbeing ambassador training courses. She is an experienced facilitator and speaker for staff CPD and training. She has direct experience of the stress and challenges of working in educational institutions, which gives her an invaluable insight into the difficulties teachers and students may face, and the need for positive education within schools and other related settings.

Currently, Hannah is studying for a Master’s degree in Applied Positive Psychology, and has a particular interest in positive and strengths-based education.
