To date, she has 59 on-screen credits which include the projects she has in the works.
5. She Studied Communications
Hannah began studying communication science in Vienna but ultimately chose to leave school early so that she could focus on her acting career. Of course, dropping out of school to pursue an acting career can be a very risky decision, but it’s worked out quite nicely for Hannah.
