Ana Villar de Jimenez with a group of people at a Wyss Institute retreatPronouns: she, her, hers

What experience has shaped your time at HMS?
Curiosity has shaped my time at HMS, learning about the work others do and how this work impacts the world and communities around us has fueled my passion to continue creating event experiences that highlight these projects and efforts.

What/who are your favorite people, places, or things on or around the HMS campus?
My favorite people are the comms/events/admin team at Wyss. Their positivity and can-do energy are unparalleled by none, and it's always exciting to collaborate on projects with them. My other favorite activity is seeing events coming to life and seeing the attendees' satisfaction during the event.

What is your motto?
My motto is that there's a wealth of possibilities when you look at problems with the right mindset and invite others to help you solve them.

What is your favorite way to relax, unwind, and recharge?
I enjoy spending time with friends and family. It’s a bonus if we’re out in nature, and the beach is my holy grail.

What activities or experiences, outside of your job, inform who you are in your role at HMS?
I'm a travel and event planner consultant outside my job at the Wyss. Helping clients craft their dream vacation or event informs how I approach my role at HMS and the Wyss.
