About me
Hannah McKinnon has been exploring different facets for her passion for the environment for a number of years, and thinks she might have found something particularly interesting at her current position with an environmental NGO in Zaragosa, El Salvador.
Hannah grew up in a rural community in Manitoba, but somehow felt a constant pull towards the ocean which she has kept herself in close proximity to for the last 7 years.
Hannah graduated from Pearson College (UWC) before living through an honours degree in biochemistry at Mount Allison University in which she specialized in biochemical ecology. Left feeling a little overwhelmed by the natural sciences Hannah completed a masters at the London School of Economics in Biomedicine, Bioscience and Society, which ended up being a combination of environmental health and politics.
Hannah has had opportunities to work in the environmental realm in various countries and cultures, each of which have added another incredible perspective to challenges facing the climate change movement today. Hannah is head over heels in love with the beauty and complexity of nature, as well as its fragility. She is working on translating this passion into practical tools of empowerment such that actions and consequence can be better understood.
