“[The program] Hannah developed and provided us with is beyond excellent!! Hannah took a rough concept and outline and thoughtfully gave us not only a detailed curriculum but layered it with a Train-the Trainer format allowing us to turnkey the information to staff, created participant guides for attendees to possess, and evaluation tools to help ensure understanding and fidelity in practice. Her approach to research customized the information to our county and city without sacrificing a global perspective and her writing style accounted for a lay-audience not expected to be climate experts.”
