Maridel Ann Castillo

A highly organized and detail-oriented professional with a diverse background encompassing executive secretarial experience, entrepreneurial venture, and a passion for providing exceptional support. Bringing 13 years of experience as an executive secretary, I possess a strong foundation in administrative management, ensuring seamless operations and efficient workflow. My experience includes travel arrangements, personal and corporate bank account management, record keeping, meeting coordination, payroll management, facilitating the release of containers from customs, ensuring compliance with all regulations and timely delivery of 30-50 containers of balikbayan boxes weekly from USA, Europe, and Asia. I am adept at anticipating needs, prioritizing tasks, and maintaining confidentiality.

Beyond my administrative expertise, I also possess a proven track record in business management. For one year, I successfully owned and operated an ice cream and coffee business, gaining valuable experience in all aspects of business operations. This included staff hiring and training, inventory management, accounting, inventory and bookkeeping, and marketing. This entrepreneurial experience honed my customer service skills, developed my ability to manage and motivate a team, and provided me with a strong understanding of financial management.

My key strengths include meticulous attention to detail, exceptional organizational skills, and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision. I thrive in collaborative environments and am a dedicated team player, always willing to contribute and support colleagues. I am also a quick learner, adaptable to new challenges, and possess a strong work ethic.

I am seeking a virtual assistant role where I can leverage my diverse skillset and experience to provide valuable support to clients. I am particularly interested in corporate clients, small businesses, and entrepreneurs. My experience in both administrative support and business management makes me uniquely qualified to handle a wide range of tasks, from administrative duties and client communication to project management and financial tracking.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy traveling, cooking, baking, crafting, and exploring new hobbies. These interests reflect my creativity, resourcefulness, and passion for continuous learning. I believe that a balanced life contributes to both personal and professional success.

I am confident that my skills, experience, and dedication make me a valuable asset to any team. I am eager to learn more about how I can contribute to your organization's success.
