Tell us about your current role with MTA? What are your primary responsibilities?
I am a global experience designer for events. My main responsibilities are acting as the project manager and the main point of contact for our customers, coordinating between all stakeholders involved to ensure the successful execution of our events.
What did you do before joining MTA?
I have been working in the events sector for more than 8 years. I have worked for different agencies organizing all kinds of corporate events.
What’s the best part of your job?
What I enjoy most about my job is being on site, seeing an event take place successfully after all the effort and preparation always makes me very happy.
What’s been your favorite event destination as an event planning professional?
I was lucky that my first event was in San Diego. It was my first time visiting California and I consider it an ideal destination for events. Of course, the good weather always attracts participants.
What’s been your most memorable event to date and why?
I organized the launch of a new car model that lasted a whole month. It was a very intense event because of the duration and because literally everything happened, but to this day I remember it with a smile.
Do you have a few great travel tips that you could share?
Whenever I travel I always try to spend some time as a local. For example, sitting in a town square or a park, I try to strike up a conversation with a local to find out more about the destination. The air tag is a must-have gadget because lost luggage is very frustrating when you’re anxious to reach your destination.
What’s the one must-have for every event?
Always have a plan B and be proactive as you never know when something might change from one moment to the next. And of course, comfortable shoes – you are going to cover a lot of kilometers.
What makes Miller Tanner Associates stand out as a meeting planning company?
From the very first moment, I was very surprised by the friendliness of the team. I have felt welcomed and supported at all times and, of course, I think that the team is the most important thing in a company. Being able to work in a pleasant atmosphere is key.
Why do you think that the MTA Workshops are important? What do you get most from this time together?
I consider the workshops to be very important as not all teams have the possibility to see other colleagues throughout the year. I was very privileged and I was very grateful to be able to attend the Workshop in Dublin directly after joining MTA and I got to know everyone beforehand.
What do you do for fun?
I love reading – I devour every book I get my hands on. I have a reading room at my place and it is my favourite corner of the house.
Tell us a little about your background. What do you enjoy most about where you currently live? Any favorite spots that you would recommend to tourists?
I was born and raised in Barcelona, but my father is German and my mother is Colombian, a curious family mix. For me, Barcelona is the best city in the world and I have always lived there. I consider that it is a city that has everything – beach, mountains, architecture, and leisure. Whenever I can, I escape to the Costa Brava, specifically to the village Calella de Palafrugell; it’s beautiful!
