A bit about Maria…

Hey! I’m Maria, the new Colombian girl from Shakira’s country, but no, I’m not going to tell you if my hips lie or don’t lie, I’m going to tell you a bit about me and what I will be doing here, hopefully for many years to come!

I’ve been living in London for the past 2 and a half years, worked in wine bars and catering while studying a Marketing Masters of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (You may not know what that is, but I swear it was important and it was difficult), and this past year I worked at Gillian McKeith’s office as a Marketing Executive (Yes, the “Poo Lady”  and No, she didn’t examine me!)

Then my boyfriend and I decided to get married on the day Michael Jackson died, so we threw a great party in Colombia with a Michael Jackson theme…

(*M.J. guy is not my husband!… haha, he’s not THAT good a dancer…)

It was great fun, and after a lovely honeymoon in Providencia (highly recommended for those who are not scared to go to Colombia), I came back 1 month ago and the Job hunting started.  Lucky for me I got to meet Casey, Andrew and Louise, who thanks to my great drive, intelligence and…, oh yes, and the fact that the other runner up was a big deception, they gave me the job!

So now I will be helping everyone in the marketing department to make Powwowwow (and GoBeyondVoice of course) the greatest telecom’s company in the WORLD!!! (Am I going too far now?)… Well, anyway, thanks to all of you for your warm welcome (especially does trying to get me drunk on Friday) and please always let me know if there’s anything I can help you with, even if it’s just teaching you bad words in Spanish…

Cheers!
