Some of Hanna’s other achievements include being trained as an Advanced Public Affairs Team (APAT) member and he has deployed to many large-scale national disasters including the California Wildfires.  He continues to go above and beyond by giving back to the organization through regular blood donations (100+ donations) and contributing toward diversity, equity, and inclusion goals by mentoring on the Latino Resource Group.
