She holds master’s degrees in Philosophy (St. Andrews, 2003), Theology (Notre Dame, 2005), and Jewish Studies (Oxford, 2008). Her research interests include the thought of Thomas Aquinas, medieval theology and biblical exegesis, theories of redemption and atonement, Jewish-Catholic relations and dialogue, Eastern Churches, and the Holy Land.

Hannah and her husband Brian have two children, and together as a family, they enjoy the outdoors, baking, cooking, and reading and rereading The Chronicles of Narnia.
