She went on to graduate with a BA in Theatre from Dalhousie University in 2012 – and returned to Toronto to pursue work in film and television. When she enrolled in an improv class at Second City, Hannah discovered her love and natural aptitude for comedy and began writing and producing a web series, while auditioning for small roles and waitressing on the side.
In spring of 2014, Hannah was admitted into an acting program in New York where her desire to be involved in more then one area of storytelling was solidified. Once again, her natural instincts kicked in, and she returned to Toronto to take screenwriting courses through U of T’s School of Continuing Studies and started applying to graduate programs.
“I knew I needed to be in LA if I was going to have a shot at the career I wanted to have, but I needed to figure out how to make that happen, working backwards I set tiny goals that seemed more realistically achievable.”

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
