- I first knew I wanted to be in PR when: I was in college trying to figure out what major I should choose. I went into college as a film major and knew five minutes into my first film class that it wasn’t for me. I ended up sitting down with who is now my favorite professor throughout my entire college experience and she introduced me to PR. From there on out, I knew I wanted to do PR!
- My dream client: Kings of Leon – my favorite band.
- If I weren’t in PR, I would be: This is VERY random but possibly something to do with math. I was looking into switching my major to that before I found PR (thank goodness I didn’t).
- Your biggest PR horror story: I am lucky to say I don’t have one!
- My first job was: In-N-Out Burger for four years through high school and college. (And yes, I would still eat there!)
- My biggest accomplishment so far: Living in London and backpacking through Europe for four months!
- Favorite social media platform: Instagram by far. Follow me @hannareichl
- My biggest pet peeve is: Totally avoidable pain like stubbing a toe or a paper cut.
- Best movie I ever saw: 10 Things I Hate About You. It’s definitely not the best movie ever but I’m a sucker for Rom Coms.
- Why I love my job, in three words: Food. Food. Food.
- I’m secretly terrified of: Bees!
- I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I watch: Keeping Up With the Kardashians but I am not embarrassed to admit it…that is A+ drama.
- Favorite place I’ve traveled to: Italy
- If I could go only go to one place before I die, I would go: Prague.
- If you could have dinner with anybody, alive or dead, who would it be: Frank Sinatra
- EBooks or physical books: Physical books…nothing can beat that!
- Favorite thing about the Bay Area: I recently moved up here from L.A., so my favorite thing about the Bay Area is that it isn’t L.A. and it’s a brand new adventure.
- The song I have on repeat right now: Too many to choose from! I will always listen to anything by Kings of Leon, Local Natives, or Bon Iver.
- When I’m not working: I’m working out or eating pizza, drinking wine, and/or watching Netflix.
- Favorite publication to read: I love Vice.com or any of the Vice channels
- Advice to those who want to be in PR: As a recent college graduate, it would be to get as much experience as you can while in college. Internships really are key to landing your first PR job.
