Hannah

My name is Hannah Ashley! I’m a secondary english education major, and would love to someday write a sci-fi book. I have approximately 12 years of camper experience, and 4 years and counting of staff experience. At camp I’ve been everything from custodial, lifeguard, rockwall instructor, counselor, and female director. I love gymnastics and working out, and I adore my cat.
