In her spare time, Hana is also an avid swimmer, violinist, and plant owner. She likes understanding different ideas, views, and events, which is why she is interested in journalism. However, she is a strong believer that hotdogs ARE sandwiches. This year, Hana is most excited about conducting interviews and meeting the West Po community.
