Hannah was born in Boston and was raised a faithful Red Sox fan while growing up in England, California, and South Korea. (Her freshman year at M.I.T. was richly rewarded with the first World Series in 86 years!) She moved to New York City after college to study neuroscience but will readily admit that her Ph.D. is the third best thing that happened in the city, after Redeemer and her husband Topher. She and her husband, along with their daughter, live in Brooklyn and love spending time in Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
