Hannah (she/her) studied Psychological and Medical Anthropology at UC San Diego and works in the mental health field. While struggling with an eating disorder, she benefited greatly from professional treatment and social support.

Hannah recognizes her privilege in accessing these resources and knows that many individuals are unable to do so due to systemic social and economic barriers. She is passionate about breaking down these barriers so that all individuals can access the care and support they need in order to heal.

As a volunteer for The Lone Bench Initiative, Hannah hopes to increase awareness and challenge misconceptions about eating disorders through informative and thought-provoking blog posts. As a queer and neurodivergent individual, she believes in the importance of affirming and accommodating care and the value of centering lived experience.

In her free time, Hannah enjoys hiking, gardening, and swimming in the ocean.
