Meet Hannah, a dedicated Occupational Therapist with the Kids First Foundations team. Hannah earned her Doctor of Occupational Therapy from The Ohio State University and her Bachelor’s degree in psychology and gerontology from Miami University. She currently works as a school-based occupational therapist in addition to her role at Foundations. Hannah brings a holistic and compassionate perspective to her work, focusing on the unique needs and goals of every child she serves.

Hannah’s favorite part of being an OT is seeing students make progress and shine as they learn new skills. She finds it rewarding to create fun, engaging activities that highlight each child’s true capabilities. Inspired by her mom, a nurse who first sparked her interest in healthcare, Hannah chose occupational therapy because of its whole-person approach and its focus on what matters most to each client.

When beginning with a new child, Hannah prioritizes connection, regulation, and motivation. She believes kids learn best when they feel supported, are regulated, and have a motivating goal to work toward—principles that guide each of her sessions.

Outside of her professional work, Hannah enjoys running, skiing, reading, hunting for home décor treasures on Facebook Marketplace, and enjoying quiet mornings with her coffee and her cats Willie and Waylon.
