I recently interviewed Lori Alexy, VP Client Services at HJMT COMMUNICATIONS, LLC. Lori has been with the firm for more than five years and I thought it was time that you get to know the real Lori…
How did you first hear about HJMT?
When I was looking for a job, my mom saw an article about a new hire at HJMT. At that time, HJMT was still in Long Beach, which is near my house, so she proceeded to rip out the article, look at me and said “Call them.” And here I am!
What was your first job?
My first “real” job was a page at the local public library. A page is the person who shelves all the books. Lucky me ☺ (Little did Lori know, I was the kid who pulled all of the books off the shelves for the page to put away! Pssst… but don’t tell anyone!)
Are you married? Any kids?
Not married…but will be someday!
What do you like to do outside of work?
Be with my family and friends, go to the beach, see Broadway shows, go to the gym (something new for me), go for endless drives and cooking – I love food!!
List some of you favorites:
Food – Chinese!
Movie – American President or The Little Mermaid
Music – All kinds – Top 40, Broadway show tunes, even some country song – but don’t tell my mom!
Sport – I love my Yankees, Giants and Rangers!!!
TV Show – That 70’s Show or Wheel of Fortune
Where was your most recent vacation?
I went to Cancun with my boyfriend and it was absolutely amazing!
What was the most recent book you read?
I am reading the Harry Potter series now. I have finished 1-5 and am almost done with #6 – The Half Blood Prince.
If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Anywhere my bedroom window has a view of the beach – that would be the BEST way to start everyday.
Do you have any special talents?
I can move my upper lip like Elvis 🙂
If you could pick anyone for President who would it be?
My boyfriend, and I am being serious. He has some really great ideas!
What’s a typical day like as a Vice President of Client Services
Every day is something new and different, which I love! I am either strategizing with the staff on their accounts, working on my own accounts, meeting with clients and/or working closely with the President and Senior VP.
What’s your favorite part about HJMT?
My colleagues – they are the best!
What are you doing tonight after work?
Yoga!
