Brief Biographical Sketch:
Hannah recently graduated from Northwestern University, earning bachelor's degrees in earth science and music performance. During her time at Northwestern she took part in a project to reconstruct Greenland's climate over thousands of years, and to try to better iron out the kinks in how we reconstruct Earth's past. She can't wait to start working toward her Ph.D. at Caltech in the fall!
