Hannah Partington

My lifelong passion for nature and animals, combined with my journey of personal growth and discovery, has led me to pursue opportunities where I can make a genuine difference.

My understanding and respect for nature and animals has deepened significantly over the years. Growing up, I navigated a world that often felt overwhelming and isolating, especially as I later learned about my autism. However, amidst the confusion, I found compassion and connection in the presence of animals. They provided a sense of comfort and understanding that I struggled to find elsewhere.

This deep-rooted connection fuelled my desire to understand and care for the natural world. I have always been eager to learn and improve my skills in caring for nature. Whether it was growing vegetables in my garden, visiting pick-your-own farms, or tending to plants of my own, I have continuously sought ways to connect with and care for the environment.

My journey has not only been about personal growth, but also about sharing my passion with others. I am committed to inspiring others to respect and protect our planet's environments and inhabitants. I believe that by teaching others how and why to care for our planet, we can create a more sustainable future for generations to come.

I am excited about the opportunity to bring my passion, dedication, and willingness to learn. My personal journey has equipped me with a unique perspective, empathy, and determination that I believe will be valuable assets for this apprenticeship.
