In 2010, Hannah graduated from Houston Baptist University where she was a member of Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society.

Hannah continued to use her editing and writing skills by working with fellow writers, various publications, volunteer organizations, and the Lakewood church media department. After graduating from college Hannah began a successful career in Information Technology. She was a valued member of the IT staff at William Rice University and Sam Houston State. Supporting professors and colleagues in teaching higher education was a rewarding career which she thrived in. Spending time with family and friends was a great source of joy in Hannah’s life.
