Hannah (she/her) is the Programme Manager at NStEP (National Student Engagement Programme). Previously, she was Student Engagement Officer at AHEAD. Her role involves working to include the student voice in the work of AHEAD and creating inclusive environments for disabled students in extracurricular settings. As part of her role, she was the co-founder and now coordinator of the USI/AHEAD Students with Disabilities Advisory group. Now, as the Programme Manager at NStEP I hope to further the conversation around engaging students and building meaningful partnerships with all students. Always looking through the lens of accessibility, intersectionality and belonging. Outside of her work with NStEP, Hannah is a volunteer with Dublin Lesbian Line and is a public speaker, particularly in the areas of intersectionality and inclusion.
