Hanna Beary is a 2017 graduate from the University of Iowa obtaining her Bachelors of Arts degree in Journalism and Communications along with a minor in Human Relations and certificate in Entrepreneurship Management Skills. She began working for Hemophilia of Iowa in the summer of 2017 and was quickly promoted to Executive Director. She enjoys connecting with members and helping provide or create programming to address their specific needs.

Hanna shares a deep passion for working for the bleeding disorder community. Even though she was not born directly affected with a bleeding disorder she was personally affected through her three cousins who were born with hemophilia A. Her cousins were exposed to bad blood through factor treatment in the 90’s and passed just short years later. Now entering her professional career Hanna is excited for the opportunity to continue to help serve families much like her own by helping individuals take independence of their bleeding disorder through effective programming and communications.

Kiera is currently pre-med, with additional interests in psychology and public health. She was diagnosed with vonWillebrand’s Disease and a severe Platelet Defect early on in her adolescence.
