Hannah has just finished her master's degree in management at The University of Sheffield. Alongside her master's she founded Raise Sheffield, and is now volunteering as a member of the National Team in her free time alongside working for a social enterprise providing charity fundraising challenges to University students. On the national team this year Hannah will be mentoring some of the newer chapters through the year, and working on national sponsorship initiatives to ensure that Raise can put on some great events across the country this year. Hannah's favourite thing about Raise is watching students go through the process of coming to understand the ethos and seeing how everyone comes together to form wonderful new friendships around a desire to have a positive impact in the world. Hannah has also been involved in the Effective Altruism community and has taken the Giving What We Can pledge to donate 10% of her income to charity.
