The Kindergarten Experience

Hello, My name is Ms. Hannah, I am honored to be teaching kindergarten at Tiller school. My journey at Tiller school began 8 years ago as an afterschool assistant and substitute teacher and then the 2nd grade teacher assistant for 3 years. During this time I found my passion in teaching and knew I wanted to teach kindergarten at Tiller. Several years later I graduated from the University of Mount Olive in May of 2020 with my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education. I  taught Kindergarten in Craven County school for 1 year before I reached the opportunity of my dream job teaching kindergarten at Tiller. I look forward to inspiring young minds and teaching creative learners at Tiller school.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband Alex, my daughter Lexie, my son Cole and our golden retriever Callie. We love to spend time outdoors playing in the summer sun! Living in down east Carteret county gives us the opportunities to spend time on the water as well! We are grateful to be able to raise our little family here in Carteret county where my husband and I grew up.

I graduated from Salisbury State University with a degree in Elementary Education.  I have teaching experience in  California, Maryland, Washington State, and North Carolina.  I've taught kindergarten at Tiller School for three years and am so excited to be back for the 2022-2023 school year!  

In my free time, I volunteer as the President of Misplaced Mutts, a local nonprofit dog rescue.  I have three kids: Michael, a recent graduate of UNCW, his twin brother, Cameron, and little sister Rachael who both attend CCC. When I'm not in the classroom I enjoy spending time with family, helping animals, and doing anything to do with the water.
