Savana Pinsent
VP Fundraising
My name is Savana. My degree is a Bachelor of Education and obviously I love working with children. My hobbies include drawing and dancing, my favourites thus far are the foxtrot and cha cha! I absolutely have a soft spot for hot cocoa and crisp cool morning strolls, this being said, I am in fact that person that everyone is confused with when they see how slow I am moving as they eagerly pass me on the sidewalk (I do always leave room to pass obviously, I’m not a monster).
Hannah Hasselbohm
VP Social
Hannah is joining the GK executive team as VP social. She is a second year Bachelor of Commerce student with a major in accounting. She hopes to pursue a career in Forensic Accounting upon completing her schooling. She is excited to join the executive team and looks forward to connecting with new people.
