SW/S Digital Committee

Hannah Scott
Hannah is a freelancing journalist, writer and blogger, who joined the committee in 2021. Having graduated last year with a degree in Journalism, Hannah’s passion for sport and feminism is what makes her so keen to explore and write the stories of women in sport. 
 
In giving a platform to voice women’s issues in sports and writing about Scottish women in a range of sports, Hannah hopes to go on to cover Formula 1 and Tennis, whist still focusing on getting women into mainstream sports and having them heard and shown in the same regard to their male counterparts. 
 
You can find more of her work at HSBlogs, and in other UK publications.
