Hannah Van Sickle

Hannah Van Sickle is an educator turned storyteller who hails from the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. After a decade spent teaching high school English on the East Coast, and another working with students as an academic tutor and writing coach, she turned her attention to freelancing full time more than eight years ago. Her work has appeared in myriad print and online publications including Parents, Business Insider, Upstate House and Litchfield Magazine among others. When she is not writing, Hannah enjoys cooking, listening to audiobooks and exploring the great outdoors — on foot, via snowshoes, even atop a paddleboard — and adventuring with her teenagers, one of whom attends the University of Denver.
