After running her own successful virtual assistance agency for 7 years, Maria now coaches & mentors new and established virtual assistants through her Inner Circle membership, and her coaching programs, courses, and free Facebook community of over 1,500+ passion-driven women, the Start, Market & Grow Your Virtual Assistant Business community.

She lives near London, England with her author & filmmaker husband and her two rambunctious little boys.

When she's not creating content or supporting her VAs, you'll find her reading stories to her kids, scrolling through Instagram or making herself yet another cup of (decaf) coffee.
