Our Voices — Hannah Proff

Hannah Proff is a criminal defense attorney with over ten years of practical and policy experience. She has received numerous awards and other recognition over her career for her excellence in criminal defense and juvenile rights advocacy in particular, including LYRIC—Learn Your Rights in the Community—the groundbreaking nonprofit she co-founded to educate young people about their rights in interactions with law enforcement. Spend five minutes with her, though, and you will realize that Hannah Proff is so much more than that. A neurodiverse learner who proudly embraces her own dyslexia, Hannah’s passion for criminal defense sprang from an early school trip to an under-construction prison in her native Seward, Alaska. On this episode of Our Voices, our own Mallory Revel and Bonnie Schriner sit down with Hannah Proff to hear the story of her path so far in her own words.
