In the short amount of time that I've worked along Hannah, she has showed a deep passion for the work that she does. She takes initiative and steps in wherever needed. Her perspectives on study abroad includes considerations of ethicality, privilege, intersectionality, and positionality to push our never ending work striving for inclusion in international education. Hannah is also a strong writer incorporating these skills by developing creative content. Hannah's enthusiasm for study abroad is a valuable asset and wonderful contribution to the field.

I had the pleasure of working as Hannah's editor during her time with the GoAbroad Writer's Academy. Hannah quickly picked up on the GoAbroad voice and style, as well as SEO concepts. Best of all, I could always count on her to meet deadlines and submit quality work! I was especially impressed with Hannah's willingness and desire to get more involved with GoAbroad, and to take on a larger role. Hannah absolutely comes with my highest recommendation!
