Hannah Crites is a senior communications arts major (with a concentration in journalism) and theology minor from south-suburban Denver, Colorado. She is the oldest of three and is the first person in her family to attend Franciscan University. She enjoys drinking coffee (particularly in unhealthy quantities), playing the guitar and ukulele, writing, hiking, traveling, and going on random adventures.

Hannah has a particular passion for helping others seek their identity in Christ through ministering to youth and young adult and Pope St. John Paul writings on Theology of the Body. She has a strong devotion to the Blessed Mother that ultimately led to her personal encounter with Christ her senior year in high school. Some of her other patrons are St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Michael the Archangel, and Pope St. John Paul II. After graduation she hopes to work as a blogger, social media specialist, and Catholic youth speaker.
