  • Hannah first fell in love with baking when she received the 1998 Sweet Treats Barbie & Kitchen Set that came with real recipes and a working wind-up mixer.
  • During the pandemic, she started to lean more toward documenting her baking and now has dedicated her Instagram account to sharing photos of everything she makes.
  • She loves to learn more about the intersections between food, politics, and pop culture, like the way TikTok trends can lead to discussions around consumerism and product availability or pricing (e.g., 24k gold Dubai chocolate labubu).

Experience

Despite her professional career being primarily spent in the marketing industry, Hannah's lifelong passion has always been food. After spending a year as the marketing manager for a local pizzeria chain, she knew it was time to switch careers and dive headfirst into the world of food. Having grown up watching countless hours of cooking competition shows, scouring online recipes, and thumbing through vintage cookbooks has helped her improve her skills as a baker. She loves baking pies, tarts, breads, and other sweet treats, and even has a chocolate chip cookie recipe she developed that she swears by. Hannah is also a recipe developer and consultant for food-related start-ups looking to try new things in the kitchen.

Education

Hannah has a bachelor's degree in anthropology from the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College of Florida Atlantic University and a certification in social impact storytelling from the Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies.
