MARTINA ROWLEY
owner-operator & Chief VA/vBM
Martina has organisation and precision in her blood. Having been raised, educated and trained in Germany, her work ethic and style reflect her heritage. For her clients, that means they can expect professionalism, punctuality and all details considered and taken care of. For her friends, it means they have an utterly reliable sidekick and can always rely on an honest opinion when it matters.
Martina is equally accomplished and comfortable working with C-Suite executives and all ranks of stakeholders, as she is with the non-profit sector, small business owners, and solo entrepreneurs and their clients. She is fully bilingual and can work just as easily and precisely in English as in German.
Her thorough work training as an administrative professional began in Germany with a three-year apprenticeship as office clerk/administrative assistant and certification by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce. Despite suffering through her first “boss from hell”, her parents convinced Martina to stick with it. As a result, she adopted some valuable lessons: always to produce error-free work, maintain impeccable telephone manners and client service, and have an untouchable work ethic. The latter can also be credited to both her late parents.
What followed were increasingly more senior positions and more professional training in a 20-year career as executive assistant. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from university as a mature student, she also completed a business training program and then started her own business. Martina is a virtual business manager (VBM) and Certified Canadian Virtual Assistant (CCVA). Her broad knowledge base includes advanced level in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and the Google Workspace environment, as well as a plethora of 'Cloud' based tools and programs.
Martina is well-spoken and very personable with an inquisitive mind. She is a published writer, a columnist for a local newspaper, an engaging speaker and firm facilitator. She is a passionate volunteer in her local community, most notably as an environmental committee member and founder of the Orangeville Urban Harvest Program that supports the local Food Bank and other organisations. Martina loves gardening and being active outdoors year-round.
