Kia ora! I am Hannah, the biology and chemistry teacher at UKVS. I also teach primary science. Originally from New Zealand, I have an MSc in Marine Science from the University of Auckland and a PGCE from Brunel University.

I started out as a field scientist and educator in a wide variety of places, from Madagascar to Scotland. In 2016, I retrained as a secondary science teacher in the UK, where I taught for 4 years, before leaving the classroom and hitting the open road in my van. 

I love teaching science and will often take my lessons outside into the real world, wherever I am. My favourite part about science is the voyage of discovery and guiding my students to see the world through a new lens. In my spare time, I love any and all outdoor sports like skiing, climbing, SCUBA diving, and paragliding. I will try it all at least once!
