Hello! My name is Hannah, and I am a senior BFA Musical Theatre major at the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music (CCM). I’m originally from balmy, tropical Minneapolis, Minnesota, and will be making the big leap to NYC after I graduate in May!

Dance was my first love. I began with classical ballet before finding my way into the competitive dance world in my early teens, an experience that taught me discipline, curiosity, and how much I love the process of learning—which ultimately led me to theatre.

Before CCM, I spent four years studying acting at the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists, where I built a strong foundation in acting technique, storytelling, and collaboration. I believe thoughtful, grounded acting sits at the heart of every meaningful musical theatre performance.

Even when I’m not performing, I’m always creating. I’m a voracious reader and run a Bookstagram (@han.reads.alot) where I share my love of literature. I also enjoy hands-on crafts like crocheting and watercolor painting, and I’m an avid journal-er. I love writing and making music of my own, and I’m endlessly inspired by my favorites—’60s and ’70s rock like Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, and The Beatles. I’m a Lady of the Canyon through and through.

I’m also a proud cat mom to Olive (click here to meet Ollie!) and spend time volunteering in animal welfare: a cause that’s very close to my heart.

At my core, I’m a lover of humanity and story, and at the crossroads of those passions, I do my work as an actor.
