Hannah Stewart Profile

Born and raised in Colorado, I spent much of my childhood reading, crafting stories and consuming a ton of media-books, film, radio, you name it. At Niwot High School, a stint as an extemporaneous speaker (we had to write seven-minute speeches without the internet) sparked an interest in journalism. I followed this spark at CU, where I majored in communication and minored in both journalism and Spanish.

After graduating CU, I stumbled across a reporter's position with the Courier and this continues to be one of my favorite side hustles. I've covered everything from debate over tampons in high school bathrooms to local ballot measures to book reviews. I love any story that will introduce me to interesting people or challenge my opinion on a topic. Of course, as a life-long bibliophile, the monthly Inkberry Books Reviews have been an absolute treat.

In addition to writing for the Courier, I'm a writer at CU's College of Media, Communication and Information and focus on undergraduate student news. I also volunteer at KGNU community radio (catch me at 8 a.m. on the Morning Magazine on Wednesdays!) and work part time at Niwot's own Wandering Jellyfish Bookshop. When I'm not reading or writing, I'm probably doing yoga or playing with my pups!
