We’re excited to introduce the newest member of our team, Maria Zubair! Maria is  joining our Marketing team as a Customer Experience and Marketing Analyst.  Maria is working remotely with our Berlin and Toronto office from Pakistan and has had very interesting experiences throughout her career.

Maria has just had her on-boarding week, and I had a chance to chat with her to ask some questions

Question 1: Why did you want to join Mercku?
A: I wanted to join a high-functioning brand that offers growth at every level – not only does Mercku offer that, it also operates in several different locations internationally, providing a very different atmosphere of a collaborative environment.

Question 2: What aspects of your new position are you excited about?
I’m mostly excited about learning everything this position offers, as well as interacting with consumers and providing them world-class service!

Question 3: What are some of the things you do to innovate in your daily life?
I think engaging with new people and having diverse conversations helps keep me on my toes and continually doing better. I also reward myself a little bit daily, after accomplishing both work and personal goals, be it watching shows, reading books, having a dessert – it helps energize me after a long day of work.

Question 4: What are some of your hobbies?
Watching murder/thrilling documentaries, Korean dramas, and making new types of coffee. Iced Frappés are my favourite by the way!

Question 5: What kind of team activities do you like?
I enjoy brainstorming sessions – not just about work but also current affairs. I also like coffee sessions, playing board and online games and solving puzzles 🙂

Question 6: What are some of the things you’re doing to stay connected with your loved ones during this time?
Video calling – the best thing ever invented, and also sending over food to one another.

Question 7: Tell us 3 interesting things about yourself!
1) I’ve learned a lot of Korean and use it with my friends secretly.
2) I am a big big foodie – I will try anything edible!
3) I love debates, especially on controversial topics – in a setting where people don’t get offended when refuted.
