Hanna spent her childhood in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was a particularly rambunctious and energetic kid, and would only stop talking when she had her nose in a book.

She received her undergraduate degree in psychology from Westminster College of Salt Lake City, where she was captain of the cheerleading squad and played for the women’s lacrosse team. In pursuing a Master of Arts in Community Leadership at Westminster College, she cultivated an ability to think critically and creatively about the processes involved in social change. In 2021, she earned her Juris Doctorate from the University of Oregon School of Law.

During her time at the University of Oregon, Hanna worked as a law clerk at Bangerter, Frazier & Graff, a busy family law firm in St. George, Utah. Working for this dynamic law firm provided her opportunities to interact with clients, draft motions, and assist with trial preparation.

In her free time, Hanna likes to run, read, ski, and cheer for the Utah Jazz.
