She holds a third degree black belt in goju-ryu karate and is currently in her first year of Law School at Western, having graduated from Ivey Business School in 2019. When she can find some spare time, Hannah can be found debating world issues in Model United Nations or rocking out at concerts (she is still slightly deaf from Def Leppard this summer) .If you want to win her over, we suggest showing her pictures of your pets, as she misses her puppy Oscar (see right) more than her family or home-cooked meals while in London.
