Hannah graduated summa cum laude in the spring with a BA in Art History and minors in French Language and Museum Studies. She completed the Florida State University Honors Program and is a proud member of the FSU chapters of the Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi honor societies. She was the 2018 recipient of the Helen J. Beard Undergraduate Scholarship for Excellence in the Major from the FSU Department of Art History.
