Hannah Fredericksen is not normally one to sit still. She chases her dreams, however ambitious they may be. She chose a job far different to that of anyone in her family and practically “stalked” an area of Australia for 10 years, having her heart set on one day owning property there. Born in Brisbane, Hannah
Born in Brisbane, Hannah is the only member of her family to forge a career in the arts. Mum, Sally, was a social worker and then what Hannah fondly calls the household CEO (stay-at-home parent), while dad, Ron, was a consultant in data analytics. Her brother, Ben, and sister, Emma, both work in the health sector, in the fields of optometry and speech pathology, respectively. Hannah jokes that it was stupidity that got her into acting but “it really was a love of storytelling”, she admits.
