Background

About Hannah Weinstein

I'm an environmental engineer and project manager with a strong focus on developing and executing high-impact, ocean-centric sustainability initiatives. At Parley for the Oceans, I work across collaborations and operations, building partnerships and leading programs that reduce our dependence on plastics, intercept marine pollution, improve waste management systems, and deliver ocean education. These efforts span sectors such as tourism, fashion, and hospitality, aiming to drive long-term environmental and cultural change. With a background in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Cornell, I bring a creative approach to problem-solving—developing scalable toolkits, streamlining operations, and building effective cross-sector partnerships. I'm especially passionate about work that blends creativity, design, collaboration, environmental innovation, and emerging technology to reimagine how we engage with and protect the natural world. My connection to the ocean is both personal and professional. As a certified dive instructor, I’ve always been driven by a deep love for the ocean and a commitment to protecting it. That passion continues to fuel my work and inspire the projects I lead. I thrive in mission-driven environments that value collaboration, creativity, and real-world impact—and I’m always excited to work at the intersection of purpose and execution.
