Hanna Mandel, 22 years old, was born and raised in New York City. From a young age, she sought out opportunities to shine on TV and even lent a helping hand to Big Bird on Sesame Street. Hanna loves to dive into work that shows the uncomfortable, gritty, and raw stories that come from real life experiences or events, and stories that focus in on mental health and the LGBTQ+ community.

She recently graduated this Fall 2023 from NYU Tisch School of the Arts and received her training from the Atlantic Acting School, and Stonestreet Studios. She is now currently training at Stuart Rodgers Studios. When she is not acting, she loves swinging on the golf course, and taking on the challenge of running marathons! As Hanna was born early at 25 weeks, that earliness, and eagerness has only continued to be a driving force in her career as she is willing to jump in head first and tackle any new opportunity.

Hanna’s performances were exceptional across the board. Of all my students at Stonestreet, she was the most professionally focused and hardest working by a mile. When she believes in herself, and fights for herself, she wins allies, and you’ve got one in me- Alex Berg (Writer, Director/Stonestreet Studios)
