Hannah is a sophomore double majoring in journalism and international studies. She is a staff writer for The Miami Student, and assistant editor for The Miami Student Magazine, and co-president of Miami Television News. She began writing for TMS her first month on campus and she’s been here ever since! Her favorite people that she’s ever interviewed include Hope Solo, Miss Ohio, and a formerly overweight wiener dog named Gretchen Wieners.

Her dream is to host the Today Show one day (especially the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade)!
