Outside of work, Hannah was selected to participate in the Young Women Leads programme, developing skills to create meaningful change in the community.

She is also a dedicated crafter and enjoys exploring ways to weave her creativity into her work, helping members engage with their own creativity in an inclusive and accessible way.
