During her time as an undergraduate, Hannah worked as an intern on the Northwest Marine Fishery Service’s Black Abalone Recovery Team (BART), assessing population dynamics, climate change impacts, and species conservation strategies. After graduating, she spent a year working as a fish technician at multiple salmon hatcheries for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). In the summer of 2023, she worked in a novel program created by WDFW to study regulation compliance and participation in recreational crustacean fisheries. She worked to educate the public on fishery regulations, collect compliance and biological data through field surveys and participant interviews. After working closely with recreational fisheries in Washington, she realized her passion lies more broadly in water resource management and climate justice. In her graduate schooling, she hopes to learn more about how to equitably and sustainably manage water resources with an emphasis on minimizing the effects of pollution and climate change.
