About Hannah

I'm a bilingual audio producer, journalist, and marketing professional. I've worked with Sonoro, Foreign Policy, City Limits, and more, with a particular focus on long-form narrative shows. Much of my work touches on Latin American communities in the U.S. and abroad.

I have a Master’s in Journalism with a focus in International and audio reporting from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY.

Previously, I worked in marketing, communications, and social media for clients that included USAID, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and other major corporations and advocacy groups.

I'm originally from the suburbs of Chicago, and lived in Washington, D.C. before moving to Brookyln.

¿Cómo se organizó la primera asociación de vendedores ambulantes en la plaza Corona?

De los 20,000 vendedores ambulantes de la ciudad de Nueva York, casi todos son inmigrantes y la mayoría no tienen licencia ni permiso. Esto los hace vulnerables al acoso, multas e incluso la detención. En Corona Plaza, en Queens, los vendedores se están organizando para impulsar el cambio. Esta es su historia.

What’s It Like to Run an Unlicensed Business in New York?

Of New York’s 20,000 street vendors, nearly all of them are immigrants, and most are unlicensed. That makes them vulnerable to harassment, fines, and even arrest. In Corona Plaza in Queens, vendors are coming together to push for change. This is the story of those vendors.
