After moving to New York City to build her theater resume, Hahn was accepted into the prestigious Yale School of Drama.

It was in a production at Williamstown that Hahn was spotted by NBC casting executives, which lead to the role of Lily on Crossing Jordan. Since moving to Los Angeles, Hahn has returned to the stage at the Huntington Theater in Boston, where she had appeared previously in an acclaimed production of Dead End and in Jon Robin Baitz's Ten Unknowns.
