Hannah is the Operations Coordinator for Putney Summer Arts. This is her fifth summer working at Putney; she was previously a Residential Life Teacher and is excited to now work as part of the office staff. She loves being in Vermont and especially enjoys the nature and the community of the Putney Summer Programs. Hannah has a B.S. from the University of Texas at Austin in Radio-Television-Film. She is currently pursuing a passion for video game writing and narrative design.

Sam is a creative non-fiction writer, high school teacher, yoga instructor, D&D nerd, tree lover, and, this summer, an Office Coordinator for Putney Summer Arts. After serving as a Residential Life Teacher last year, he’s thrilled to be returning to a most nourishing campus community.
When he’s not in the rolling hills of Vermont, Sam can be found in New York City, where he’s pursuing his M.A. in the Teaching of English at Teachers College of Columbia University. There, he’s refined his excitement towards progressive education and continues to draw from Putney’s model of putting theory into practice. He finds it particularly inspiring to see students given an environment to find flow in their artwork and earnest community around those pursuits, helping us all come a little more into being.
