The best place to be
Felícitas Martínez Pozuelo, Administrative Technician, 1971-2018The best place to be
Felícitas Martínez Pozuelo, Administrative Technician, 1971-2018
I never thought the Museo del Prado would be my destiny and that I would work here all my life. But it gradually entrapped and captivated me, with all its good and bad moments, but I wouldn’t renounce any of them. Maybe it’s now that I’m saying, “It’s been enough. I think it’s better if I go”, as I’m noticing my age. But I’ve always had the same enthusiasm and motivation. It’s always been giving me things, even unconsciously. It was the best place to be, nowhere else would have given me so much.
I can’t see how I would have learned so much anywhere else. In that sense I’ve been very fortunate.
