Everyone’s heard the Ferris Bueller quote that goes, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Account manager Hannah, on the other hand, is living it! She fearlessly took on a new job, purchased a new house, brought home a new dog and dove into marriage—all since the turn of the year. Like any good Nashvillian, she’s embracing the change and looking forward to the inevitable growth it will bring. Read on to learn more about our ambitious and intrepid new team member!

I’ve always wanted to go on a safari in Africa. It’s on my bucket list! I love to travel, so my list is always growing.
What is a crazy story you love to tell at parties?
My mom and I were traveling in Europe a few years ago, and one of our stops was Brussels. We spent the day at the main square in Brussels—it was incredibly busy and the weather was dreary. Later, we found out that we arrived on the one day that all transportation closes after a certain time, except for the metro. At the first metro station we tried, there had been an accident so it was closed down. At the second station, we were able to get on but it was so crowded we were basically on top of one another. Halfway back to our hotel stop, this metro also broke down and we had to walk the rest of the way. We had no idea how to get back as both our phones were about to die, it started raining, and it was getting dark. Long story short, we made it safely back to our hotel after a super scary and stressful situation and we will not be visiting Brussels again any time soon!
What do you do for fun?
I love to take my dog to the dog park, explore Nashville, read and work out.
What gets you out of bed in the morning?
I want to be able to experience life to the fullest. I just started a new chapter in my life: a new job, just married, a new dog, and a new house. I’m looking forward to seeing what this will bring and how I will grow as a person.
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Tacos!
