VOTING LOCAL: Sherlyna Hanna for Hyattsville City Council, Ward 3, MD
I am an engaged and motivated servant leader dedicated to serving my community. In addition to my social skills, I have demonstrated a commitment to Hyattsville through philanthropy, psychotherapy, and advocacy. I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and Sociology. I moved to Hyattsville to pursue a Master’s degree in Social Work at Howard University. After graduating from Howard, my passion and appreciation for the Hyattsville community inspired me to make it my home.
Through my work as a social worker, I recognize that the problems my clients are faced with – poverty, recidivism, homelessness, affordability, etc. – are prevalent throughout the community, and have formed a passion for advocacy. As a Board Member for the Maryland State Advisory Board for Juvenile Services, I am committed to consulting and advising the Secretary of Juvenile Services regarding policies and programs to improve juvenile services across the state. I’ve also had the pleasure to serve as the 2020/2021 Maryland fellow for IGNITE National with a goal to build and sustain school partnerships to deliver college civic leadership programming and develop consistently evolving civic engagement curriculum that is focused on building political power in every young woman.
