MEET TRICIA WILLA

Hi there! I’m Tricia Willa - a creative, event planner and operations manager based in Maryland, USA. I’m born and raised in the Philippines and moved to the US right after graduating from college.

Currently, I work as a Program Operations Manager for a nonprofit organization in Arlington, Virginia. My job allows me to organize events that are important in the news/media industry. So may it be coordinating small one-day meetings to multi-day training programs (and virtual events). I have over eight years of event planning and event operations experience in the DC metropolitan area. This experience has also allowed me to work on weddings and social events. I also have a background in graphic design (visual identity and packaging) that I have showcased in the past as a freelance designer.

I am passionate about all things food. A self-labeled foodie (gourmet on fancy days), my love for cooking, baking and dining out fills my heart, soul and stomach!

I also enjoy traveling as I get to embrace different cultures, see architectural wonders and experience authentic food.
