Hannah is a versatile, critically acclaimed Actor, always on the hunt for her next professional challenge.
Hannah has been seen on homegrown classics like Neighbours, Winners and Losers and the Youtube Series sensation The Grubs. Most recently she's been seen in TVC's for brands like 2XU, Pure Blonde, Sportsbet, Hush Puppies and Heinz and starring in Aussie Drama Counterplay on Amazon Prime. She’s a Presenter, Writer, and was once told by a director that she was “too bloody good”. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, she’s also a massive Star Trek nerd!
Hannah boasts a wealth of experience working in front of the camera, and as of 2019, reached her big goal of making performance work her primary job.
She has also starred in multiple Theatre Productions; most recently being flown over to Perth for The Deluxe Old Time Radio Hour in the Perth Fringe Festival and with Critically acclaimed Opera company The Parlour on their production of Grainger At Home. She has had starring roles in many Award Winning Short Films and in 2017, Hannah was honoured as the sole recipient of the Showcast scholarship for the Howard Fine Masterclass.
Hannah is currently based in Melbourne where she has trained at many of the City's best institutions, starting with a Bachelor of Performing Arts and continuing on to TAFTA, NIDA, Howard Fine, The Film Space and The Rehearsal Room.
She lives a very active lifestyle, having recently completed a Full Marathon and working as a Pilates Master Trainer in her spare time. She thrives in environments where she can work collaboratively with other talented artists to create great work and she can't wait to see what comes next!
