She has additional work experience in the edtech private sector and a human rights organization (Amnesty International).

Her policy interests include the intersection of gender and environment, particularly female labor policies, gender-inclusive policymaking, and inclusive environmental policies.

In her free time, you can find Hanny burying her nose in a good book, (trying to) train for a half-marathon, going to a yoga class, journaling, or finding a cat to “pstpstpstpst” to.
