Hannah is a rising junior at Valley Christian High School with a deep commitment to business and advocacy. Her passion for business shone in the Harvard Crimson Global Case Competition, where she led her team to place 1st out of 1230+ teams from 80+ countries, as well as in DECA, where she placed 7th internationally and serves as Vice President for her chapter. Beyond business, Hannah is a nationally ranked debater, distinguishing herself as the first from her school’s team to qualify for the international Tournament of Champions.

Her advocacy skills are further honed through her role as the Vice President and opening prosecution attorney for her mock trial team. Outside the classroom, Hannah competes on the varsity swim team and enjoys music, nature, and time with friends and family. Hannah’s journey with iStart Valley began in the internship program, where she earned the Gold Presidential Service Award and placed third in the Global Youth Startup Challenge. Now, as Innovation Head, she is eager to give back to this community that has greatly shaped her development.
