Biography

My name is Hanna Beussman. This is my third year at GFW. I attended Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, MN and majored in English-Secondary Education. I grew up the oldest of nine children on a crop farm in Springfield, MN. Literature is my passion and few things are as enjoyable to me as reading a good book. When I am not teaching I enjoy listening to music, watching old movies, and baking. I am thrilled to be teaching in southern Minnesota and love getting to know the surrounding communities. Please feel free to email me with any questions.
