About the instructor

Bilingual Educator

Hannah Riddle

Hi there! My name's Hannah. I've been working in early childhood education for a number of years now. I primarily work in Spanish immersion settings, it's incredibly fulfilling. Working with small humans is wonderful. I started Semillitas Training because I see a need in our communities for professional development opportunities in Spanish. I have a B.S. in Child Psychology, B.A. in Spanish Studies and I'm finishing my Masters degree in Adult English as a Second Language Education.
