I'm Hannah—a freelance journalist, content writer, and editor. You can see my work in The New York Times, GQ, National Geographic, Wired, Travel and Leisure, Forbes, CN Traveler, Outside, Well + Good, High Country News, SELF, and other publications. If you need help with reported features and essays regarding outdoor sports, public lands, or the environment, I'm your gal.
Before diving into a writing career, I spent years in the outdoor industry bouncing around the West as a backpacking guide and educator. I also obtained a Master of Science in Environmental Studies through Prescott College. I'm originally from Baltimore, MD but now live in Brooklyn, NY.
(I also design knitting patterns!)
