Meet our new Board of Directors member
Please give a warm Sound Christian Academy welcome to our newest board member Li Er Hanson!
Li Er grew up in Singapore before coming to the United States to attend college at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. She has had a varied career in banking and consulting, and including serving together with her husband, Darran, as the founding business manager and science teacher for a Christian school in North Carolina. They have three children, 18, 21 and 24, who have attended K-12 public and private boarding and day schools, both here and in Singapore, including one who was homeschooled for a couple of years.
Having experienced a variety of educational settings as an administrator, teacher and parent, Li Er enjoys thinking about the different ways in which children learn and how schools function. Currently, she works for a boutique asset management firm headquartered in the Bay Area. In her role on the SCA Board, she is excited to serve alongside her colleagues by sharing her skills in finance and business administration, and her passion for education, in a way that aligns with the needs and culture of a faith-based school community.
The Hanson family have attended Northwest Church in Federal Way since 2007 where Li Er has served as a small group leader, in Sunday School, AWANA and discipleship mentoring.
