Born and raised in Napa, Hannah learned the inner workings of the hospitality industry as a chef selected for staging at Eleven Madison Park, the iconic Michelin-3-starred restaurant in New York, and Bouchon in Yountville. For more than 10 years, she served as a creative consultant with La Saison, managing a full kitchen and event staff and day-to-day catering operations.
