Meet Jacqui
Full Name: Jacqui Cikra
Title: Entertainment Sales Manager, The Standard Downtown LA
Sun Sign: Pisces

Who is this exotic creature in the woods, you ask? She’s our very own Jacqui Cikra. Here she is on The Standard Downtown rooftop where we grabbed her a second and gave her The Standard quiz. We warn you, she’s compellingly infectious.
First off, tell us a bit about your background, and what you do at The Standard?
I was raised by Buddhist penguins in Los Angeles and moved to Hawaii to further my career in the Hospitality/Tourism Industry. After college I moved back to LA where I ride horses, shop, surf, snowboard and drink Jameson and NyQuil (not together).
I’ve been in the Hospitality Industry for the past 6 years and find hotels fascinating. I am a Sales Manager for the Entertainment and Lifestyle Industry and I have a HOOT doing it!
What’s your favorite secret spot in downtown Los Angeles?
Tony’s Saloon… “Pool. Ping Pong. Parking” and Church & State for yummy eats. Both aren’t really a secret, but I can tell you my friends secrets there…
What’s one of your most memorable moments in the building?
Dressing up as a penguin with my co-worker and running around causing mayhem in the hotel and all over Downtown LA.
What was the last song you downloaded?
Midnight Oil, “Beds are Burning”
What is your favorite movie based in a hotel?
Home Alone 2
What are you most excited about for 2011?
My roommate’s Costco card and using my 2011 Ugly Doll Calendar I just bought.
