We are excited about our new additions to the Great Shape! family. The following interns will be working in the Great Shape! communications office this summer. They will handle all things messaging and communicate with our supporters, volunteers…and the world!

Hannah is a Communication major with a double minor in Business Management and Spanish. Hannah was born and raised in Seattle, WA, and she attends Lesley University which is located in Boston, MA. She is currently the marketing/advertising manager for the Lesley Public Post (her school newspaper) as well as a tour guide at Lesley. A few fun facts about Hannah are that she has been a vegetarian for a little over a year, which she says is particularly hard in the summer months with all the BBQ’s!! When she was a little girl she lived overseas on the Island of Guam for 2 years. And…she used to be a sailing instructor in upstate NY. After the summer, Hannah plans to return to Boston in order to complete her senior year at college.Annie Worman
