Hannah Strack
Business Development Associate
Get to know me in three:
- My home away from home:
- To me, home is defined by the people within a place rather than the place itself. I feel at home with my grandmother and cousins in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, with the friends I made singing together during the island's Easter functions in St. Julian, Malta, or with my mom at the breakfast table in Surprise, Arizona.
- The values that influence me:
- Honesty, care, respect, inclusion, and fun!
- My diversity story:
- I've been a natural extrovert since the moment I came into this world. I love learning about, welcoming, and supporting others at work, in my friendships, and at home. Being insatiably curious and a lifelong learner, I am continuing to discover how to hold space for those of different backgrounds and unpack my white privilege so I can be an inclusive and mindful professional.
