Hannah Leabu ('16)

Development Coordinator at University of Toledo

Hannah has had an interesting path as she pursued a degree in Marketing and Sales and currently an MBA at the University of Toledo (UT). While at Steiner, Hannah enjoyed participating in all the sports teams and this was an area she volunteered and worked in while attending college. Using her skills in community engagement, she worked or volunteered for the minor league teams of Toledo Mudhens and Toledo Walleye. This involved promotions during half-times, on-court competitions and anything related to the fan experience. Doing sports in high school built her confidence and fulfilled the “fun” factor. These experiences allowed her to see all the processes that go into getting people to the game. 

Her Steiner education gave her the confidence to strike up a conversation with anyone as she’s gone on many unique field trips, travelled to Italy, played violin, understands another language and studied all the sciences. Her strong problem-solving skills she attributes to the creativity that was developed at Steiner. She noticed that peers from her generation have a harder time doing this.

Currently, Hannah is putting her organizational, communication and social skills to use as she transitions from an intern at the University of Toledo Foundation to a full-time Development Coordinator, helping to raise money and steward donors.
