The funds for Hannah’s award were raised by members of the Geelong sub committee of the AOF who wanted to repay their own awards by providing an opportunity for another worthy applicant. Their award is named in honour of Bruce Kinnersley, a hardworking member of their group who recently passed away following a long illness.

Hannah has approached her Employer Viva Energy hoping to arrange employment with a subsidiary company in Canada.
