As people who know Hanna personally, we’ve always known her to take chances even in uncertainty. She has always been a person to make the first move and chase after opportunities - even intimidating ones. During our chat, we talked about how this has helped her find and stumble through research before beginning university at Sunnybrook Hospital, and how every experience is an exercise of “rebuilding shattered confidence.” This talk is all about the hidden aspects of working and research - the nervousness, pits in your stomach, executing on visions without a solid plan, and handling interpersonal differences.
