Early Life
Hana was born on March 17, 2003. Her father, Geoff, and her mother, Margaret, were so blessed to have such a wonderful child. "It was the happiest day of our lives," recalls Margaret. When she was four years old, Hana started figure skating. Right from the start, she knew it was her passion! She has been skating ever since, and now also participates in synchronized skating, as well as competing solo. Her favorite memory was when she placed third at the Eastern Sectional Synchronized Skating Championships. "Synchronized skating is my safe house," Hana recalls. "I can always depend on my team to bring our best to the ice!" In addition to that, she also loves to sing and act. She is a member of the New Jersey Youth Chorus at the Coriste level, and has even performed at Carnegie Hall! She is excited to travel to Budapest, Hungary and Vienna, Austria in the summer of 2017! She also played Annie in her school play, and although she does not plan on going into theater, has enjoyed performing in her middle school's productions of Marry Poppins and Alice in Wonderland Jr.

Her Aspirations
In the future, Hana hopes to become a Biomedical Engineer, and enjoys school. Her favorite subject is math, and she even had the opportunity to participate in the 8th grade STEM program, and is excited to be a part of the High School STEAM program next year. Hana maintains good grades, and hopes to go to Columbia University, as her mother is an Alumni!
