A loving mother and professional, read about Monica—the driver behind our marketing efforts—and how she juggles work life with raising her little daughter at home
Who is Mónica? And what is your role in the company?
I am a person with many dreams, a professional who is always looking for more but above all a protective and loving mother who always wants the best for her daughter, I like to learn new things, meet new places, and spend time with my loved ones.
At Oceans I am the Marketing Manager, I oversee our efforts related to advertising and communication, I also assist with the planning of our events and internal activities at the logistics and communication level.
How long have you been with Oceans? What was your first impression?
I have been working at Oceans for a year and a half. I met Eder through a mutual contact back when Oceans was undergoing a rebranding process, it seemed to me that the company had a very interesting work methodology, and it was evident that it is an organization created from a dream and people with great hearts.
What is it like to work at Oceans?
Working with all the guys is really fun, I never thought I’d work with a team mostly made up by men, let alone software developers, coming from a marketing agency that was mostly comprised by female peers.
It was a drastic change, but the guys are great people, humble, friendly, funny, and super smart. Each one has a very different personality and I am always learning new things from them. We are now working toward further fostering diversity in our team!
Tell us about one thing you are proud to have accomplished at Oceans
There are plenty of tools we didn’t have a year and a half ago that we I have contributed to developing at the brand level, our identity and communications have been strengthened incredibly, and we have managed to reach new clients through digital campaign, this is what makes me proud.
What is your main motivation on a day-to-day basis?
My daughter and my husband are my driving force. For them I made the decision to start working remotely.
What are your career expectations?
Marketing is a field that changes constantly so I must always be attentive, having already graduated I always seek to acquire new knowledge. I have also considered pursuing a dual degree in Business Administration.
What do you enjoy most about working remotely?
I enjoy having time for my toddler, spending all day with her and being able to watch her grow, as well as having the possibility of working from anywhere, accommodating, and enjoying free time.
In my past job, I had to commute and wasted at least 3 or 4 hours a day in traffic, I now take advantage of that time to enjoy at home with my daughter, work earlier, or exercise.
How do you spend your time outside of work?
I like to spend time with my family and my daughter. I love the outdoors, meeting new places—including coffee shops, always on the lookout for a great coffee—and if possible, bring my camera to snap a few photos.
It’s hard to make time to do all these things while working and being a mother, but at home I also like to read, watch romantic movies and series, and I try to exercise and do yoga as much as I can.
Mónica is one of the many colleagues that brings her best self to work every day, whose contributions are appreciated by everyone in the team.
