BIOGRAPHY

Hannah Irvine was a Montessori student from ages 2–18. After attending three different Montessori schools around Cleveland, she was advised to first get a degree in something she loved, and then pursue her Montessori education. She attended Earlham College and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Environmental Studies and a minor in music. She attended Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio and received her Master’s in Montessori Education for lower elementary. She began teaching lower elementary but had the opportunity to finish her training in upper elementary at the Montessori Elementary Teacher Training Collaborative (METTC) in Boston the next summer. Hannah began teaching upper elementary for 2 additional years, and then had the opportunity to transfer to Hudson Montessori. Hannah is very impressed with the ongoing communication of the Hudson community, as well as the unwavering support and kindness of her fellow staff members.

In addition to her passion for Montessori, Hannah also enjoys riding horses, spending time with her cat, running, swimming, biking, backpacking, and gardening. Over the summer, she had the chance to hike in Colorado, see her 95-year-old grandfather in California, and visit her best friend in Virginia. Hannah also loves to eat what she grows. This summer, her garden was full of volunteers (plants that sprouted by accident) and she is always hopeful that anything will keep growing, except for the weeds!
