Hannah came from a military family and spent most of her childhood traveling the world. She grew up in Vermont, Texas, Alaska, Japan and South Dakota. Living in different climates sparked her interest in weather.
She studied Meteorology and Journalism at Iowa State University, where she produced the student-run television show Cy’s Eyes on the Skies. During the summer, she interned at KSFY in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
After graduation, Hannah forecasted for blizzards and severe weather as the Weekend Meteorologist at KDLT in Sioux Falls, SD. Hannah worked in Tallahassee from 2019 to 2021. She's excited to trade Atlantic hurricanes for Midwest blizzards.
