In one word: spontaneous!
Hannah was drawn to climate advocacy by her great love for animals and passion for human rights. With the long-term effects of climate change that can have lasting impact on future generations, she desires to make a difference that could last longer than her lifetime. Hannah is a junior studying geography at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. In addition to her involvement with CCL, she is an active member of the Utah Animal Rights Coalition, The American Legion Auxiliary, and Meals on Wheels.
As a conservative fellow, her responsibilities include: building a network of conservative and Republican young adults who are interested in climate policy who engage on a regular basis, training young conservatives and Republicans to voice a constructive message for putting a price on carbon emissions, developing, proposing, testing & implementing outreach methods to young adult conservatives & Republicans, and providing occasional administrative support including email, calls, research, and data entry.
In her free time, she enjoys marathon running, skiing, and activism. She also loves to spend time with her two kittens, Olive and Pippa! Hannah’s favorite book is The Count of Monte Cristo, her favorite artist is Taylor Swift, and her favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption.
Hannah hopes her fellowship will allow her “to be part of something larger than [herself] and create true value in the world.” With her help, CCL is creating bipartisan support for climate change policies.
