Hanna Peichel (she/they)

What are you doing now?

I repair guitars and violin family instruments in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

When you think about your time at PiM/MSSPA, what is the one thing that sticks out?

I remember feeling embraced for everything I felt made me strange. I remember feeling appreciated as an oddball rather than rejected for it.

What was one thing you feel MSSPA/PIM prepared you for?

My time at MSSPA gave me insight into all the realities of the performing arts industries, and taught me how to find my place within it.

What is something that you were surprised to discover MSSPA/PiM prepared you for?

I never thought my time at MSSPA would prepare me to interact with all sorts of people, and to give anyone a chance to like me.

Are you doing what you thought you would be doing?

I didn't expect to fix instruments, no, but this path brought me joy and keeps my love of music alive.
