Athena Hansen

English

Passionate about giving back, I've always believed in the power of community to create lasting change. Whether through volunteering, organizing local events, or supporting grassroots initiatives, I'm dedicated to making a positive impact and fostering connections that strengthen the fabric of our shared spaces.

I'm actively involved with the Upper Iowa Women's Wrestling team, managing social media and supporting behind-the-scenes organization to help elevate the team's presence and success. Outside of wrestling, I have a passion for archery, appreciating the precision and concentration it demands. When I'm not working or training, I enjoy spending time with my dog, whether we're hiking, playing, or just enjoying each other's company.

As a young adult, I've learned that family isn't always about blood--sometimes it's the people who choose to stand by you through thick and thin. I'm fortunate to have a close-knit group of friends whose kids I consider my extended family, and their love and support mean the world to me. Though I don't have children of my own, I'm proud to be the "aunt" figure in their lives. My dog is my loyal companion, and together, we enjoy every moment spent with those who feel like family, strengthening bonds that go beyond traditional definitions.
