Hannah Hippensteel (Winona ‘21)
My name is Hannah Hippensteel, and I like to say I'm a Chicago city-slicker, but I'm actually from the 'burbs. I'm currently a junior at Winona State with a major in Mass Communications-Journalism and a minor in Sociology. Catch me enjoying all Winona has to offer: the bluffs, the incomparable Bloedow's Bakery, and not to mention, Minnesota boys. With a goal of working at Teen Vogue, Seventeen, or Glamour magazine, I'm soaking up every opportunity to keep my finger on the pulse and share my personal voice!
