About Me

HI, I'm Hannah Papenfuss, a dedicated disability activist located in the Fargo Moorhead area. With my personal experience living with cerebral palsy, I bring a unique perspective to my work. Currently pursuing my MS in Disability Services in Higher Education from the City University of New York, I have many years of experience presenting to future teachers, educators, and medical professionals. My goal is to empower individuals and organizations to create inclusive environments and provide the necessary support for people with disabilities. Let's work together to make a positive impact!
