Hannah McCaleb was born and raised in Chicago, and moved to Aotearoa New Zealand six years ago after meeting her kiwi partner. She has several years of experience of working with mokopuna of all ages, as a behaviour therapist, teacher aide, mentoring programme manager, and as a youth coach. She joined the Mana Mokopuna Mai World engagement team one year ago, and feels privileged to be in a role where she gets to hear from mokopuna from around the motu about the issues most important to them. Hannah currently resides in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington) with her partner and her cat.
