About Wendi

Welcome to my little, personalized, and (mostly) fun corner of the internet. Whether you're here to read about Broadway, entertainment, or the laughable struggles of a recent college graduate making it out in corporate America, you've come to the right place. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin (hook 'em!) with dual degrees in broadcast journalism and theatre, and currently work full time as Director of Regional Marketing for Broadway Across America. My weaknesses are chips and queso, Dance Moms, romantic comedies, photo booths, and show tunes. Resume, writing samples (more serious ones...), and my life story can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendireichstein/.

First off, yes, I realize I’ve been a bit missing in action these past two months or so. Fortunately, I’ve still kept plenty busy between my senior year of school (so sad) and my news internship at KXAN-TV (the NBC … Continue reading →

Backstreet’s Back, Alright

Posted on September 2, 2013 by Wendi

This is it, the last hoorah. As I’ve been saying, it is so beyond hard to believe that my entire summer is almost over. After months of researching, preparation, anxiousness, back and (mostly) forth contact, and a nerve-wracking but nevertheless … Continue reading →

Even With a Heat Wave, My Internship is Pretty Cool

Posted on July 23, 2013 by Wendi

People had warned me that it was hot in New York. Of course, I scoffed and sassily rolled my eyes at the time. How? In New York? All the way at the top of the United States near Canada? Yeah, … Continue reading →
