She competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics. Hannah has won three European medals, and in 2014 was the bronze medallist in the all-around at the Commonwealth Games. She is four times British Senior Champion. Hannah specialised on the Beam and Foor although competing all-around as well.

Hannah visited SSoG on the afternoon of Tuesday 14th April and worked with a small group of club gymnasts passing on her experience on the Beam and Floor and a selection of Conditioning exercises. Later in the afternoon a wider group also met Hannah got autographs, took photos and saw a selection of her gymnastic medals and leotards when she competed for GB.
