Hannah joined the project in 2022 as an undergraduate research assistant, and spent a summer doing field work before shifting her focus to the specimen collection, which she uses in her ongoing research on visual signaling via the forehead patch in cliff swallows. In 2024 she earned her B.S. in biology from the University of Tulsa, and began an M.S. degree in biology, continuing her cliff swallow research as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow.
