Hannah Van Hofwegen, Student
Hannah graduated with a BSc Honours in Health Science with a Minor in Business Management from the University of Ottawa. While growing up in a small town and studying at a Christian private school west of Ottawa, Hannah鈥檚 passion for serving others became instilled in her from a very young age.
Her work in this field is extensive but began with an organization called Casas Por Cristo, where she helped advocate for funds and built homes for families in need. Although her work with this organization is ongoing, her passion for health care led her to work with Medicine Education and Development for Low-Income Families Everywhere (MEDLIFE). What Hannah admires most about MEDLIFE is its local involvement and sustainability plan. She hopes to apply the same principles in her future work.
Hannah鈥檚 health and business background align her in a unique position within the nonprofit sector. Through the MPNL program, Hannah hopes to strengthen her leadership skills, broaden her understanding of the nonprofit industry, and prepare for a passionate career promoting a happier and healthier future.
When she鈥檚 not studying, Hannah can be found at the gym, or with family and friends, cooking or at the beach.
