Hi!
I'm Hannah Alper

I am a journalist with a sharp editorial eye and a patient heart. I love to turn complex topics into digestible, entertaining and relevant storytelling for every kind of reader. I am curious about communities and the world around me — locally and globally — and lead with empathy and honesty. Whether through writing on a wide range of beats and platforms, editing individual assignments or campaigns, or creative content strategy, my goal is to turn people into audiences — I look forward to collaborating with others to tell stories that matter.
