She attended the University of Chicago, studying philosophy.[1] While a student, she also studied in Paris.[8] Hahn’s senior thesis at the University of Chicago was on “issues at the intersection of psychoanalysis and post-Foucauldian philosophical inquiry".[8]

Ann Coulter describes Hahn as "the most wonderful, brilliant, kind, principled human being I’ve ever met... I want her to be president as soon as she’s old enough.”[9] Hahn had worked at Breitbart since 2015 as a writer and editor, until she followed Steve Bannon to the White House.[10]

According to The New York Times, on entering the White House at age 25, Hahn's financial disclosure forms indicate she had some $1.5 million in stocks, as well as a Custodial Bank Account for minors containing between $500,000-$1 million.[11]
