Hanna Merchan

Hi everyone! My name is Hanna Merchan (she/her/hers) I am from Norwalk, Connecticut, and am currently a junior! I am majoring in political science with a minor in healthcare management & insurance studies. I am a part of the UConn Honors program and am very passionate about the law industry, specifically in healthcare and real estate law!

Throughout my three years at UConn, I have done various types of internships, including a women's health intern at Planned Parenthood, senior fellow at GoLive Girl, and recently as a pre-law intern at The Princeton Review. Throughout all my internships, where I worked with amazing people and teams, I was able to conduct additional research on other nonprofit organizations, organize events or campaigns to increase brand visibility and participation, conduct market research to improve marketing strategies tailored to students needs, and much more!

Here at UConn, I am involved in the Gamma Phi Beta sorority, where I work as the panhellenic affairs vice president assistant. Additionally, I am a part of the external committee in the Empowering Women in Law club and a member of the Healthcare Management Society! Currently, I am a pre-law peer advisor here at UConn! I am so excited to get started and help students who are looking for more information varying from what classes to take to applying to law school! Please feel free to ask any questions, and don’t be afraid! It's what I am here for!
