About Hannah
Hannah is a coach and consultant with more than a decade of experience working in Congress, nonprofits, community organizing, and consulting. She's focused on making work more equitable, effective, and enjoyable. She offers staff retreats, workshops, and individual coaching and has worked with Congressional offices, federal agencies, nonprofits, foundations, and fortune 500 companies.
Hannah is project manager for The Bridge Project, a new public-private partnership and equitable hiring pathway for the environmental sector focused on people of color and underrepresented communities. In its inaugural year, the project supported 300 candidates, trained 700 staff from 55 environmental organizations and 5 federal agencies in equitable hiring, and yielded 20 permanent job placements.
She served as Senior Representative for Partnerships at The Wilderness Society, leading a strategic planning initiative to root relationships in equity by designing new systems of staff learning, knowledge sharing, and coordination. In 2016, she founded Pride Outside, now the main hub for LGBTQ outdoor inclusion initiatives with Congress, federal agencies, conservation nonprofits, and the outdoor industry. She was Legislative Assistant to Congressman Mike Doyle, covering health, foreign affairs, immigration, and more, and was Staff Director of the Congressional Autism Caucus.
From sports teams to social movements, she has always been fascinated by what it takes for a group of people to work well together to achieve big goals. And while we’re pursuing big goals, how can we live our best lives along the way? After a decade of working in progressive politics, seeing the effects of high stakes and high stress on folks across the field, she wants to invest in the people doing the work.
Hannah earned a BA in Political Science from Brown University and certifications in applied positive psychology and applied positive psychology coaching from The Flourishing Center. She is Vice Chair of the Southern Appalachian Wilderness Stewards Board of Directors.
