Hannah is a recent graduate from the Queen’s-Trent Concurrent Education Program, within which she completed a Bachelor of Arts (B.A) degree from Trent University, and a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) degree. Her thesis will focus on the representation of Irish peoples and Ireland, as described by Elizabethan English writers.
