She studied Journalism at the University of the Creative Arts, where her love for creativity and storytelling collided, and graduated in 2015 with a BA (Hons) in Journalism. Fresh from university, Hannah bagged herself a content producer role at a marketing firm where she worked on high profile beauty campaigns including Rimmel and Calvin Klein. After a year learning and absorbing everything to do with making brilliant content, Hannah made a brave move to go freelance aged just 21, working at Mail Online, Daily Mirror, Grazia, KISS, Hits Radio and heat and Closer. It was at heat and Closer where she really grew her writer wings and fell in love with all things showbiz and fashion journalism.
Hannah briefly left Bauer Media to be Digital Editor at new! magazine, where she interviewed the likes of Love Island's Olivia Attwood on a weekly basis. She spent a lot of her time hanging around red carpets and glitzy parties trying to nab exclusives. After a few years commuting and living the showbiz journalism life, Hannah worked in Internal Communications at John Lewis where her love for shopping and the retail industry began.
Hannah is a mama to an 18-month-old boy and is navigating her way through first-time parenthood, every developmental leap at a time. She is up for trying anything and everything to make mums feel less anxious and overwhelmed. Outside of work, Hannah absolutely loves the outdoors, spends her summers camping in the UK and spends her Saturday mornings throwing herself in the nearby sea whatever the weather. She is passionate about nature, body positivity and children's mental health.
She is also interiors obsessed, loves shopping around for trendy second hand clothes for her little boy (hello, Vinted) and de-stresses by cooking up a storm and watching the latest crime series on telly (but often ends up watching Bluey instead). Hannah is also currently renovating a Victorian terraced house with her plant-loving partner, her sausage dog Waffle, her three cats and a tortoise called Bobby. There's never a dull day in Hannah's world and she loves it that way.
