What is your daily life like? How do you organize yourself as a working mom?
So normally I get up every morning at 7:30 AM. I bring my son to school then I go to my Lagree of Pilate classes three times a week. The place I go to is called Snake and Twist. The founder is, curiously, Mexican. I love this place! As a former ballet dancer, so it helps me stay in shape. I practiced ballet for over 15 years. After my practice, I go to my office where there are days when I don’t have time to eat because I’m running from one customer meeting to another.
What do you like best about organizing events?
There’s a certain adrenalin at every event, I’m never sure if I’ll succeed in my mission, it’s quite stressful but exciting at the same time. It’s the challenge I take up every time I organize an event.
What do you enjoy most about organizing these events?
I like working as part of a team with good energy, exchanging ideas with my assistant and my suppliers, I like the adrenalin that comes from organizing an event from A to Z, and above all I like meeting new people every time, traveling and being able to gather around an event all the people I’ve met from different worlds. I love the mix of people it creates. Once the event is a success, I can be happy with my team and my work. I’ve done my job.
