Hanan helped build more leaders to support women in tech as Chic Geek’s Program Specialist.

She beta tested and launched Chic Geek’s Career Pathing program which led to 400+ members and over 1000 connections made for women in tech to mentors (Career Guides).

Career Pathing was created to address the challenge of the broken funnel of 2X more women in tech dropping out of the tech industry than their male counterparts.

Partnering with Victoria Park BIA and B!G ART to build amazing experiences.

Night Light transformed Calgary’s Victoria Park community into an incredible display of light and art. Interactive art installations, projection-mapped architecture and live performances fostered a culture of "seeding" the next generation of local artists in new and exciting art forms.

~ Around 20 local and international artists were showcased at Night Light and all created art with light as a guiding theme.

~ Estimated turnout of 15,000-18,000 - despite the rainy weather!

~ Featured on multiple local news and radio channels with an estimated reach of 39.9 million viewers.

How to Delight Strangers - Presented by Teknion and Social Studies Lab.

In collaboration with Laura Lee Ross of Teknion, we created an activation and workshop called "How to Delight Strangers".

In a time when we are more wary of strangers than ever, how do you create a city where people open up themselves to new positive encounters and opportunities?

Over 200+ attendees exercised their talking-to-strangers muscles, all with the intent to increase their own happiness and that of others. 

They learned that simply observing someone having a moment of happiness makes you happier. Additionally, talking to someone you don't know throughout your day increases your happiness more than talking to those you do know.

Thank you to LobbyFest and Brookfield Place for having us!
