My Background and Focus
Meia joined MBM’s Office Administration team in June 2021.
After a long career as an interior designer, she decided to transition to a more slow-paced career and joined MBM as an administrative support clerk. Her main tasks include processing incoming CIPO mail, saving client invoices, transitioning physical files to electronic files, maintaining office supplies inventory, assisting with the coordination of client events, curating an extensive art collection for the office, and assisting with other various tasks around the office. Just a plethora of responsibilities that she does with joy.
What my clients/co-workers say about me
My life outside of work
I love to cook, so I aim to host my friends for a homemade dinner and dessert once every three months. I want to create a memorable experience for my friends, so I start by choosing a country and then curating a menu inspired by that country. It’s fun for me to experiment, and it usually ends up being an adventure for all your senses.
My interest in interior design has played a key role in my home décor. I am always on the hunt for one-of-a-kind, “conversation starter” pieces of furniture that tell a story. I really enjoy buying and selling collector’s items. These unique pieces mesh well with my love of gardening and exotic plants. My sun-filled apartment is the perfect place to showcase the unique furniture and these beautiful plants. My home is a reflection of how I see the world, with creativity and warmth. Travel has also always been part of my life. I love exploring other countries, but I also really appreciate a good old road trip somewhere in Canada or the US.
