Before enrolling at Temple, Hannah was a self-taught vocalist. Her passion for music began at a very young age. Born into a pastoral Mexican-Puerto Rican family, Hannah was influenced by gospel music and her cultural heritage. With the love and support of her family and guidance from impactful music educators, she decided to pursue music at the age of seven. Although mainly self-taught, Hannah didn’t let that hold her back. She created opportunities to express her love for singing, whether by performing at church, writing music, or participating in talent shows and theater productions. These experiences ultimately prepared her to study music at the collegiate level.

Hannah’s journey from a self-taught musician to a professional musician shows her dedication to her craft. Hannah shows a promising career as Vocalist, evoking, talent, and a commitment to lifelong passion in her artistry.
