Mariana Rabie
@marianarabie
I streamline operations, executive administration, and workflows for efficient business support.
What I'm looking for
I bring 30+ years of administrative and operations experience from PRASA, where I supported senior management, operational teams, HR functions, business planning, facilities, fleet, and Metrorail administration.
Across senior administrative roles, I coordinated reporting, records, compliance documentation, budget monitoring, project files, stakeholder communication, timesheets, overtime, leave, payroll-related administration, and workforce records.
I currently run OfficeFlow Studio, creating practical templates, guides, checklists, and process-focused resources that help professionals and small businesses organise work more efficiently. I also provide remote administrative coordination through Pencil Neck Virtual Assistant and self-employed business activities.
I’m motivated by bringing structure to information, simplifying recurring processes, and ensuring accurate, timely follow-through in busy operational environments.
