Actress, Director, Filmmaker
About Hannah
I am a Pittsburgh & Boston based creative attending Carnegie Mellon University.
As an award-winning director and actress, I am passionate about collaboration through innovative storytelling.
During my summer with New Product Company (NPC), I played a key role as Marketing Manager and Video Producer for “My First Play”. I managed all social media platforms, created digital marketing campaigns through meta, secured sponsorships, and coordinated media coverage for 40,000 local Pittsburgh viewers in targeted ads. In addition, I produced professional video content that highlighted NPC’s vision . These efforts contributed to sold-out performances, with 226 tickets sold over two nights.
I also played CHILD in Youtube.com/the-Family-family, which delved into the lives of YouTube influencer families, examining the relationship between childhood, content creation, and real life. Written & directed by Spencer Byham-Carson.
