My name is Hannah McCarraher and I am 19 years old. I grew up in Grayson County Va and Ashe County Nc. I am the first person in my family to graduate high school and attend college. I attand Lees Mcrae College for wildlife biology with a specialization in rehabilitation.

Retired from, Veterinary medicine, I now volunteer seasonally at the NC Zoo educating various ages on aspects of conservation and animal welfare.  I am married with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and caregive my 96 year old Mother.

As a lifelong nature and history enthusiast, after retiring from my professional career as a learning designer, developer and facilitator in 2023, I began to seek out opportunities to put my passion into action.  For the past year I've been serving as a nature educator and historic interpreter for two organizations in western NY and am now preparing to launch a new business that incorporates nature and history education and helps families, schools, and homeschool communities to learn and explore the natural and human history of the region.
