Maria Carras is the CEO & Founder of Maria Carras | Creative Virtual Assistance -- a training membership for virtual assistants and matchmaking service for business owners seeking marketing & admin support.

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 has helped hundreds of women launch as location-independent virtual assistants and has helped over 200 business owners create freedom in their business by matching them with their right-fit virtual assistant.

Maria has degrees in Media Arts, European Business, and Marketing and started her career as a film publicist working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. She recently left her leadership role at the world’s biggest online streamer to focus on her business full time.

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.
