Hello, my name is Hannah and I am a third year civil engineering student at Concordia as well as Co-VP Outreach of WIE! I love my position as it combines all the things I care about most: teamwork, creativity and of course engineering. My goal is to inspire and foster every student’s scientific curiosity by overseeing the events and workshops my team of directors host and create. When I’m not studying, you’ll either find me rehearsing stunts with the Concordia cheerleading team or working on my daily sudoku. To me, cheerleading is all about physics. It takes a lot of force and balance to build the perfect pyramid. Combine that with my love for problem solving games and what do you get? Well a great engineer of course!
