shareHannah Cornish 's Profile
Asia Volunteer Coordinator
Hannah has grown up in Lower Hutt and is very proud of being a kiwi! She has dreamed of giving back to the community ever since she heard about GVN. After finishing school she spent three months volunteering in Phoenix, Arizona working with another non-profit organization called "Anytown Arizona". Anytown Arizona provides youth leadership development programs focusing on diversity awareness, social justice, and personal empowerment.
She is now the volunteer coordinator for GVN's Asia programs. Hannah loves to travel and wants to see the world! When she's not at the office Hannah loves to spend time with her friends, watching movies, or out in the sun! (When there actually is some!)
