As a student at K, Malak participated in the LandSea Adirondack Expedition trip and then served as a Trip Leader in 2016 and 2018, and a Logistics Leader in 2019.

Hannah’s work as a backpacking and climbing guide has taken her from the Midwest, to California, to the desert Southwest. While at K College – when not playing lacrosse and soccer or heading up the American Sign Language Club – Hannah took every opportunity to get outside with Outdoor Programs, and served on the Logistics team for LandSea in 2021. She took leave of absence during her time at K to take part in the National Outdoor Leadership School’s Wilderness Rescue Semester, gaining her Wilderness EMT and Leave No Trace Level II Instructor, along with other valuable outdoor leadership and rescue experience. She graduated in 2021 with a major in Biology and a minor in Psychology. Hannah hopes one day to complete the Tour du Mont Blanc in the Alps.
