Hi everyone! My name is Hannah and I’m the Marketing Manager at the Laidlaw Foundation.
I was previously a UCL Laidlaw Scholar in the 2022 cohort, where I studied English Language and Literature. It’s a real privilege to now work with the community as part of the Foundation team.
My role focuses on building and nurturing an engaged global Scholars network, creating events that strengthen connection, and shaping how we share the Foundation’s work and impact.
In my spare time, I love cooking new dishes, reading, going to the theatre, and café hopping around London.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out or connect with me on LinkedIn. I’m always happy to chat!
