She grew up in North Carolina, where she lived for many years before moving to Charleston, SC after meeting her husband, Tom. They lived there for seven years, and then relocated to Cincinnati, OH for one year, before finding there forever (maybe?) home in Indianapolis, IN. Two things Hannah has learned about the midwest is that their appreciation for chili and potatoes is unmatched and the people really are That Nice.

Hannah has always been an avid reader and writer and recently finished a great run as co-host of Charlotte Readers Podcast. She also dabbles in writing for digital publications, animal rights activism, and fundraising. To hear more about her story and the inner workings of her brain, follow along on her blog.

It’s also very important to note that her love for her two goldendoodles, Gracie and Fiona, and her two-year old daughter, Gwen, is unmatched.
