Elizaveta - better known as Lisa - is the youngest of the MA team and joined us in February 2020 as an intern working in business support. Originally from Russia, Lisa moved to live in Spain in 2007 and sees herself as part Russian, part Spanish.
Since then, Lisa has joined us permanently as an Assistant Office Manager, supporting with the office’s tasks in Barcelona, and most importantly, taking care of our office and team!
Outside of MA, Lisa is an avid content creator, working on social media business pages for shops and beauty centres, as well as being a Community Manager and translator.
