Encontró el Home Staging a través de una de las últimas clases de su carrera donde una de sus profesoras habló de los diferentes tipos de salidas y nuevas formaciones.
Tras su graduación en EEUU se mudó de nuevo a España y al ser emprendedora de corazón vio la necesidad de preparar las viviendas para la venta en un sector que desconocía la industria del Home Staging y en 2015 puso en marcha MOGO y en el 2021 arranca como cofundadora de la revista BACKSTAGE, única en su contenido al estar creado por stagers para agentes inmobiliarios.
Mónica está en constante formación porque entiende que para poder servir mejor a aquellos con los que colabora la educación es la clave.

En Enero de 2023 su puesto como Manager Regional desaparece con el fin de crear la extensión de la EAHSP en ESPAÑA y Mónica es actualmente la Directora de Relaciones Institucionales en España.
Su objetivo no es otro que dar a conocer los beneficios tangibles que el home staging ofrece, establecer relaciones respetuosas con los diferentes organismos del Sector Inmobiliario y colaborar con el fin de dar a la industria del Home Staging la credibilidad y el reconocimiento merecido.

Mercedes ha sido siempre una enamorada de la arquitectura, el arte y el diseño.
Descubrió el Home Staging siendo estudiante en Irlanda en 1995, cuando la familia con la que vivía puso la casa a la venta y la inmobiliaria les envió un experto en marketing para prepararla profesionalmente antes de las visitas.
Aquella experiencia se quedó grabada en Mercedes ya que participó de forma voluntaria en aquella puesta en escena y pudo ver el éxito que obtuvo.
Mercedes vivió y estudió dos años en Dublín, Irlanda y un año en Friburgo, Alemania.
A su regreso a España, y después de más de 20 años trabajando en el mundo empresarial, decidió cambiar radicalmente su vida profesional y en 2018, tras estudiar Diseño de Interiores, se reencontró con el Home Staging y lo convirtió en su pasión.
