Make Me A Supermodel

"I want those wings, Giselle!"

Age: 19

Born: April 17, 1989

Made in: NSW

Hannah says she'll be going all out to win Make Me A Supermodel, but believes she'll also be a great motivator for her fellow contestants.

"I'm strong but fragile. I'm very sporadic. I think people find me interesting to be around," she says. "I'm a motivator as well. If someone's not doing their best I'll do my best to get them too. But I am going to win. I want this so much."

Such passion is not surprising considering this independent soul packed her bags and left her family on QLD's Sunshine Coast two and a half years ago to pursue a modelling career in Sydney.

It was a brave move for the then 17-year-old, who doesn't regret her decision for a moment. Her tough exterior extends to a vow she has made to herself for the filming of Make Me a Supermodel.

"I've promised myself I won't cry on TV," she says.

Hannah spent her early life in Cronulla and moved to Mooloolaba, QLD, with her family before chasing her dream in Sydney. She is now a self-described "Bondi beach babe" and model.

While she has appeared in the pages of magazines such as Girlfriend and Dolly, and works as a promotions model, Hannah's big break has so far been elusive.

"My parents know I'm really stubborn and I would have done it anyway," Hannah says of her move to Sydney. "But it's come to a point now where they're saying I really need to start working on a plan B. So I've told them I want to get into acting...that didn't make them very happy."

Hannah has her sights set on high-fashion saying, "I want those wings Giselle," in reference to supermodel Giselle Bundchen's famous Victoria's Secret pose.

A fan of old-school rock bands such as Led Zeppelin and the Beatles, Hannah says moments where she isn't singing will be rare.

"I'm the worst singer in the world, I'm tone deaf, but I love to sing," she says.

Her motto on the show will be a mantra from her "Gumpy" (grandfather), who she says died earlier this year: "He told me, 'Be beautiful every day'," she says.
