Maria Dolores Garner Florentino

My friends fondly call me Tiny, but my clients call me Maria.

I believe that working from home is the new future, as it provides professional individuals the chance to grow their careers and manage their families while working from home and earn at the same time.

I graduated with a degree in Business Management and has worked for more than 20 years handling various positions from Event Management, Sales, and Marketing from different industries namely, Enchanted Kingdom, UNTV 37 and an Event Management company.

It was the year 2014 when I started my career as a Virtual Assistant and developed my skills to understand how I can work effectively and productively. Since then, I have worked with quite a few numbers of International clients, from Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Working with international clients taught me to respect and value time, to be diligent and most of all with integrity. I am currently handling tasks from Administrative, Customer Relations, Events Management, Web Management, Social Media Management, and other complicated tasks that need to be handled or managed by me as requested by my clients.

I used to manage at least six clients all at the same time, from part-time to an ad-hoc. At present, I manage three regular clients from Australia and the UK.

I have created a program that will help those who need to learn to start a career from home with all the necessary information, tools and software and skills to help them perform their role as a Virtual Assistant.

I train aspiring and experienced professionals in preparing them for what they need to know about working from home and honing their skills. This is my advocacy as I understand that this industry will grow and in so doing, I want to contribute by helping develop more competent and knowledgeable VA's.

Now that I have found my passion, by educating and sharing the knowledge I have acquired over the years of my VA career, I am determined with God's help to continue and motivate those who want to start a career from home and help them pursue their dreams to make it happen.

Nothing is impossible if they put their hearts in achieving their dream career.

Preparedness is key to become successful in this field and that is why I help others to become VA Ready.
