Her international career has taken her to concert halls across Australia, Europe, Asia, and North America, where she has appeared as a soloist with orchestras and in recital.

Hannah completed her Bachelor of Music (Honours) at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, University of Melbourne, studying with Glenn Riddle, before pursuing postgraduate studies in piano performance at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna (MUK), where she studied with Jura Margulis. She is currently pursuing the Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Performance at the University of Toronto.

Hannah's performance of Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at the Myer Music Bowl received praise from The Age music critic Tony Way, who commended her “prodigious pianism” and the “depth of colour” in her interpretation.

Alongside her performing career, Hannah is interested in the relationship between musical interpretation, narrative, and performance. Her current research explores the exchange between opera and piano music, with a focus on the works of Franz Liszt and Enrique Granados. Her approach brings together analytical inquiry and practical experimentation at the piano.

Hannah is also an experienced piano teacher, having taught privately in Australia and Korea and at music schools in Korea and Vienna. She welcomes students of a range of ages and abilities, with a particular interest in working with intermediate and advanced pianists. She offers instruction in English and Korean, combining a supportive learning environment with a strong emphasis on musical understanding, technical development, and expressive performance.
