Hannah is a senior at UConn studying Psychology and English. She grew up surrounded by secondhand things and fell in love with the idea of giving new life to them and continuing their stories. With the Thrift Den, she hopes to encourage others to find creativity and value in things that already exist. She believes that it’s possible to be eco-conscious while finding joy and meaning through self-expression. 

Outside of the Thrift Den, Hannah is interested in the psychology of storytelling and creating, and how narratives can be used to facilitate curiosity and care for people and the environment.
