Hannah Callas just graduated from DePaul University, where she majored in Arabic and Journalism and minored in surviving Chicago winters. A Newport Beach native, Hannah is back home coaching sailing in the harbor and helping her parents transition from Apple TV to cable, and then back to Apple TV on a twice daily basis. When she’s not teaching sailing or domestic IT, Hannah is overwhelmed with gratitude at the opportunity to support Watsi and their incredible mission. And when she’s not overwhelmed with gratitude, she is able to calm down and get some of her Watsi work done.
