While visiting Hollywood at age 6 Hannah was noticed singing and dancing by two casting directors when they advised her parents to get her an agent. Within the following weeks Hannah booked a commercial with Fisher Price at her very first audition. By age 7 she began training for film where her drama instructor quickly claimed she was the most advanced young actor she had ever encountered. For this reason she accepted Hannah in as a student despite the fact she was two years shy to take the classes. Hannah's natural gift and love of acting and singing landed her in professional musical theatre right after her 8th birthday when she began performing leads with rave reviews. By age 9, the first film she performed in and as lead, 'Smoke' was awarded 'Canada's Top 10' at the Toronto International Film Festival. Just months later Hannah won a Canada wide Joey award for Best Performance and was nominated for Best Performance three times running up against veteran adult actors.
