Hannah is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and works as a Settlement Worker supporting newcomers and immigrants in their integration, well-being, and personal growth. She holds an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Health Studies from the University of Toronto, where she built a strong foundation in mental health research and community advocacy.

As the Virtual Clinic Coordinator at Padayon, Hannah supports daily operations and the clinic’s digital presence by managing client forms, online resources, social media content, and administrative systems. She helps ensure clients and team members have seamless access to organized, efficient support.

In her work as a Settlement Worker, Hannah contributes to program development by organizing initiatives for youth and adults, coordinating workshops and information sessions, and supporting community outreach efforts. She works closely with Filipino youth and families and is committed to fostering culturally responsive and inclusive community services that address both mental health and settlement needs. She is passionate about trauma-informed, strengths-based, and culturally responsive approaches, and is committed to creating safe, empowering spaces where individuals feel heard and supported.

Outside of work, Hannah enjoys traveling, adventurous activities, and playing guitar, bass, piano, and ukulele, using music as a form of self-care and creative expression. The name Padayon comes from Hiligaynon, Hannah’s native language, meaning “to keep moving forward,” reflecting the clinic’s dedication to resilience and growth.
