Maria Antonia has always had a unique perspective, having come to the United States from Colombia at a young age. She always dreamt of creating a life for herself in which she could be of service to other people. She has a background in handling administrative tasks for small businesses, including medical offices, home insurance companies, a public adjusters (PA) firm, and a valet company. The growth of her knowledge towards managing businesses began with her position in the Pediatrics office of a solo practitioner. She tackled tasks all the way from checking patients into the system to preparing vaccines, labs, vitals, etc. She was also responsible for handling certain billing for the business, as well as communicating with insurance companies and hospitals. She moved on from the medical field and went on to manage two businesses from the inside out. This is where she became very knowledgeable in all things bookkeeping, payroll, business marketing, client communications, and overall business administration. She began handling the financials, organizing all income and expenses, along with processing payroll for both firms. In addition to the administrative tasks, she worked closely with the employees to ensure their well-being and to provide them with the tools they required to better perform their jobs. She has specialized in facilitating efficient workflow within companies to ensure their success and growth. With her ability to take on whatever is thrown her way and make sense of it, she has been and continues to be an essential and highly valued piece of the puzzle.
