Bio: Hannah is an artist and scientist from Aurora, Colorado. She is passionate about the environment, the earth sciences, and uses visual mediums like painting and illustration to bridge the gap between the two. Hannah comes from a multicultural background, bringing a unique perspective and experience to the field. Growing up in African American, Mexican American, and Native American communities, she is passionate about intersectional environmentalism and looks to connecting her communities back to nature. She wants to advocate for the awareness and change necessary as these communities are more vulnerable to the impacts of the climate crisis. Her familial roots continue to motivate and inspire her in her love for people, plants, and the environment.
