Hannah Keldsen
Project Manager
You Grow Girl!
Not only is green my favorite color, but I consider myself a certified plant mom. I have been slowly adding to my collection of house plants over the years (up to 8 now, and they are thriving!)
This photo was taken at one of my favorite locations in D.C., the plant-filled National Arboretum! Growing up in rural New England, the Arboretum's natural beauty is a quiet sanctuary for me, where I can forget I live near a big city for a while, and be one with nature!

Fun Facts
What is your philanthropy? Why does it resonate with you?
I am a firm believer in the power of physical activity! A lot of people think that in order to see the benefits of being active, you need to be in the gym 5 days a week or sign up for a marathon.
The reality is, that doing a little bit more than you already are, has RESOUNDING effects on your long-term health! Being active in small ways does so much for our physical, mental, and emotional health - plus any excuse to close the laptop and go for a walk sounds good to me ;)
What sports teams do you root for?
Growing up in New England, there is a certain built in loyalty to all my teams: Patriots, Celtics, Red Sox, Bruins, etc...but my all-time favorite team to root for is my Dad's Alma Mater, Kansas University!
Catch me making a bracket every year for March Madness...it's Rock Chalk till I die!
Who was your first celebrity crush?
Troy Bolton from High School Musical....I even had a HSM MP3 player and knew every single song from the movies by heart (and probably still do)!
What are you dying to try but haven't done yet?
I really want to visit Iceland and see the Northern Lights!
