About
MY BACKGROUND
I am Hannah James. I grew up in Rochester, MN. I graduated from Stewartville High School, go Tigers! I have two dogs, Cady, a Miniature Schnauzer and Lilli, a Yorkie Poo. I love to sing, watch Disney movies, and spend time with friends and family. During the winter you can find me at a hockey rink (watching not participating). In my free time, I also love to read a variety of books. On Sundays, you can find me in black and gold, go Steelers!
