Anika Hearts HKA

April 7, 2009

I’m very proud to say that I’ve joined the absolutely awesome HKA team. I’m Anika Ramirez and yesterday marked the beginning of my second week at HKA. So far I’ve become familiar with some really cool coworkers, jumped right into the encouraging yet relaxed company culture and immediately started working with a great client.  I’m so excited to have found such a perfect place to work with some of the most supportive (and nice) coworkers around.  I consider myself extremely lucky to have found a position within a company that is not only reputable but also has an amazing company culture to go along with it. Everyone works hard, is really good at what they do and still manages to be fun and friendly. I can’t thank Hilary enough for believing in me as a PR professional and selecting me to join her successful company. I know I can learn A LOT from her.

My second week and already we're silly. We're missing Hilary in this staff photo but I thought it was too hilarious not to post. Obviously at HKA we know how to have fun.

As for a little about me, I have over three years of PR experience which made me realize I really enjoy PR (I made the right career choice–phew!) and fortunately I’ve also had the opportunity to work with some terrific clients. Cal State Fullerton provided me a great education and I graduated with a B.A. in  Communications (concentration in PR). I live in Costa Mesa which is less than 15 minutes from HKA, a HUGE plus when I am accustomed to half-hour commutes (that extra 15 minutes is worth a lot when sleep is involved). As an animal lover, having the HKA pets (cats and fish) around make me smile and keeps me occupied from constantly missing my own dog Teddy who waits for me at home. I know Hilary is big on her staff staying active which is cool and perfect for me because I stay active by doing the sports I love like snowboarding, riding my bike (especially to the beach), running, wakeboarding and playing soccer on my team the GrassKickers.

All in all, it’s been a great week at HKAand I’m excited for what’s to come. At HKA, it’s a family-type environment and it’s honestly a great feeling to be wholeheartedly welcomed by each member like I have been. I also look forward to contributing to the InisghtsOut blog with my random and hopefully useful rambling!
