Hannah Greenwald is a Santa Clarita Valley native and a second year student at Santa Barbara City College, where she is studying Communications. She, soon, plans to transfer to the University of California, Santa Barbara in Fall 2021.

As a new college student, Hannah is taking every opportunity to get involved with her community. She is currently interning with the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and is heavily involved with exposing children to the art of film.

Inspired by music, Hannah began taking piano lessons at the age of five. Since then, music has always been a huge part of her life. You can even find her cleaning her room while she dances to Beyonce’s 2003 album, “Dangerously in Love”.

Hannah has participated in musical and photographical community programs at Cal Arts. Her original photos have even been featured at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art. Hannah has trained as a Junior Lifeguard at Castaic Lake where she learned CPR and First Aid. Hannah now enjoys her job as a camp counselor where she has had the opportunity to inspire love, enthusiasm, and creativity in the young campers.

She’s raised money for the Southern California Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, as she is constantly looking for ways to get involved in local issues. In her leisure time, Hannah watches and re-watches episodes of Friends on Netflix or spends time on the beach with friends. Hannah plays an active role in the community, and she devotes her time to not only helping those in need, but also interacting with children seeking a greater role in society. All in all, as a young adult striving to make a difference in the world, Hannah incorporates her love of art and media in her everyday life in order to bring the community together.
