How long have you worked at IRG?

This is my third year!

What initially attracted you to work here?

I started working as a cashier at some events at 528 in 2024, and then the opportunity arose to join a dynamic position that I enjoyed and which I still hold; during the busiest time for events at 528 I am in Finance managing cash registers, and at other times I am more of an Office Admin helping with general (and varied!) administrative tasks

What is a typical day like for you?

During peak season, there's a lot of work, so I arrive at the 528 office early and start getting up to speed on what happened at the previous day's event. I do some planning for the week and then get to work on the numbers, reconciling the cash registers. This is where most of my day goes because we're always having to adjust the numbers and procedures! (That's normal for such dynamic events at a venue like the 528). Then I get everything ready for the day's event and make sure with my colleagues that everything is in order!  

What do you like most about your job?

While managing cash registers and doing administrative tasks might seem boring, it's actually much more dynamic than it appears. Managing money carries a lot of responsibility; it keeps me constantly alert and resourceful; and no two days are ever the same. Undoubtedly, the work environment contributes greatly to a more relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, and that's essential (at least for me). 

What has been your greatest achievement so far?

Well, I think the trust placed in me for the tasks I'm assigned is something worth highlighting; as I said before, managing and controlling money requires a level of trust from the company that I appreciate. The same applies to some of the administrative tasks I'm assigned, which require responsibility and autonomy. I think this last point is what I value most: the trust and autonomy the company gives me.

How would you describe the Company Culture?

Authentic; closely linked to offering fun and original experiences. Open, flexible, and cheerful.

What is the best thing about working with your team?

The team is everything!! Not only does it help us perform tasks much better, but it also makes the day-to-day work more enjoyable and fun. Coming to work and having a good time with my co-workers is fundamental and something I value greatly about my job

What do you like to do outside of work?

Above all, make plans to go to the beach whenever possible! Spend the day there or go see the sunset, anything that can be close to the beach, great sea. I'm all in for any summer plans surrounded by nature! I'm also quite fond of the foodie world, especially when it comes to plants, and lately, fermentation and preserving. I always try to stay active by experimenting with different techniques, and I also really enjoy cooking for my friends and sharing those moments with them

Is there anything interesting about you that your co-workers don't know?

Many things, I'm sure, because I stay quite active and curious about life in general! In Argentina, I graduated as an Occupational Therapist, where I worked a lot with people with disabilities (mostly children, although I really did a lot of everything). I think if I had stayed longer in Argentina, my goal would have been to continue specializing in working with the most vulnerable and marginalized sectors. But then I wanted to take a long trip and I never went back (well, I did visit, of course). I've always loved to travel, and while I was studying, I was able to travel extensively throughout my country and the rest of Latin America during my vacations. Then I went to Australia, where I lived and worked for two years. From there, I crossed over to New Zealand, where I stayed for another three. And from there, I came to Europe, where I lived and worked in France, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, and then Ibiza! 

This year will mark 10 years since I went to Australia, thinking I was only going for a year…

What advice would you give to new employees at Ibiza Rocks Group?

If you have any questions, problems, or concerns,  stay in touch with your colleagues. There is a strong emphasis on listening and teamwork.

What do you like most about living in Ibiza?

Living in paradise should be enough, but I also enjoy what Ibiza has to offer depending on the time of year and what I'm looking for. If I want peace and quiet, I look for places that aren't so crowded and plans that are a bit different from the more mainstream side of Ibiza; if I want to party, there are plenty of options.

I love that Ibiza has all that and more, and has to offer us whatever we want!.
