Hannah Cornett

Widely known for her careers as an actress, model, producer, triathlete, and surfer, Hannah Cornett is also the President and Founder of the charity, Tags4Lives, which sponsors, trains, financially supports, and emotionally supports Hawaii’s at risk foster youth. Hannah is extremely passionate towards helping improve the lives of others through charity work and nonprofit organizations, particularly children. Through this charity, she is able to not only help children in need, but offer them opportunities to learn, love, and grow into accomplished young adults.

Hannah moved to Hawaii after suffering a knee injury during a triathlon competition. She became a professional triathlete after attending college at Baldwin Wallace University, where she recognized her athletic talents could turn into a career. Before she knew it, Hannah Cornett was ranked number three in the world for women triathletes, but had to put a pause to this career to rest her knee. Instead of giving up exercise completely, Hannah decided to take on surfer, where she again excelled as a professional athlete. Her mentors were good friends and professional surfers Kaela Kennelly, Bruce and Andy Irons, and Laird and Gabby Hamilton, all of whom helped Hannah surf at a competitive, professional level.

Apart from surfing, Hannah Cornett became a teacher in Hawaii for special needs children in 6th grade. It was then that she realized her life passion for helping children in the community. Tags4Lives is a charity event that supports around 300 foster youths every year by pairing them with celebrities who keep close ties with the children consistently throughout the year. The charity has been recognized nationally for being a successful organization that changes the lives of many. Hannah herself has seen these children grow into independent, strong adults who follow their passions in every aspect of their lives.
