Hannah Espinili - Project Support Specialist


As Kathe Espinili's daughter, Hannah has been part of the JDL family for as long as she can remember. Her first "job" with the firm came in the early 2000s as a young child, helping put stickers on client Christmas gifts with her brother. As her skillset and hand-eye-coordination grew, her responsibilities expanded during school breaks to include stuffing envelopes, filing, indexing, and assisting with a variety of administrative projects.


After graduating from Irvine High School in 2013, Hannah attended Irvine Valley College before transferring to Utah Valley University, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting Performance. She spent the next ten years in Utah exploring her passion for the arts, working on stage, film, and commercial productions in roles including performance, wardrobe, background coordination, modeling, and casting.


Eventually, Hannah found her way back to her hometown and to JDL. Today, she works primarily in Compliance alongside her mom while also supporting the firm's advisors and staff with a variety of administrative and operational needs.
