Hannah started gymnastics when she was three years old in a recreational class. She loved it so much that she moved up to team and started competing at the age of six. She was the 2014 Level 4 KS State All-Around, Uneven Bars and Floor Exercise Champion. Following her level 4 season she moved to JAG Gymnastics in Andover, KS and has been there ever since. Hannah was the 2015 Level 6 KS State All-Around and Uneven Bars Champion, 2016 Level 7 KS State Floor Exercise Champion and 2016 Level 7 Regional Qualifier.

As a level 8 gymnast in 2017, Hannah placed second in the all-around and second on floor exercise at the State Championships, qualifying to Region 3 Championships. In 2018, she earned gold medals on vault, floor exercise and in the all-around at the State Championships. At the Region 3 Championships, she placed sixth in the all-around and second on floor exercise. During Hannah's third and final year of level 8 in 2019, she finished second on vault and fifth overall at the State Championships. At the Region 3 Championships, Hannah was limited to one event due to an injury and earned a silver medal on floor exercise.

Hannah moved up to level 9 for the 2020 season but was unable to compete at the State Championships due to COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, Hannah placed second on vault and fourth on floor exercise at the Level 9 State Championships. At the Region 3 Championships, she finished fifth in the all-around, first on floor exercise and second on balance beam. This qualified Hannah to the Level 9 Western Nationals in Iowa where she finished 12th overall and third on floor exercise. In the summer of 2021, Hannah followed one of the coaches to 316 Platinum Gymnastics Academy in Wichita, KS.
