"Birmingham is a place that is often underestimated but it is an inspiring outer-London location."

Hannah Johnson, who joined the BYPY committee this year, is an account executive at Willoughby PR.

Hannah, 23, studied English and Drama at the University of Birmingham and joined Willoughby PR in 2008 after she graduated.

She has lived in Birmingham for almost five years and likes to think of herself as an advocate for a city that is often underestimated. Hannah believes Birmingham is an inspiring outer-London location that offers great prospects both in employment and with its thriving social scene.

When not taking part in BYPY activities, Hannah enjoys acting and the theatre. She is also interested in climbing and running, and after completing the 2008 Birmingham half-marathon, she is hoping to run a quicker time when she tackles the feat for a second time in 2010.
