She fell in love with horses at a young age, spending much of her early years learning to ride.
Hannah went on to become an accomplished equestrian. In 2023, she said: “I started riding when I was four years old. I grew up on a ranch and was lucky to have some lovely ranch horses. My dad knew how to ride; he had learned to ride for Western movies. He is a good horseman.”
She attended Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles from 2007 to 2011, and graduated with a degree in communication studies.
