Ως επαγγελματίας πυρήνας της δουλειάς της είναι ο άνθρωπος, η ευημερία, η ενσωμάτωση και η ολόπλευρη ανάπτυξη της προσωπικότητάς του. Πιστεύει αδιαμφισβήτητα στις δυνατότητες και στις ικανότητες των νέων και στο δικαίωμά τους για συμμετοχή και μόρφωση μακριά από κάθε είδους διακρίσεις. Η συνεχής επιμόρφωσή τους μέσα από σεμινάρια και δραστηριότητες, τους καθιστά ενεργούς και πιο έτοιμους να προσαρμόζονται σε ένα συνεχώς εναλλασσόμενο περιβάλλον. Αυτά επιδιώκει ως εκπαιδεύτρια η Μαριγιώργια, με απώτερο στόχο οι νέοι να εξωτερικεύσουν τον ενθουσιασμό τους για τη ζωή και το μέλλον τους. Αρθρογραφεί για θέματα που απασχολούν τα παιδιά, τους νέους, τους γονείς και τους εκπαιδευτικούς στις θεματολογίες που ειδικεύεται, τα οποία δημοσιεύονται στο blog της επαγγελματικής της ιστοσελίδας είτε σε άλλα διαδικτυακά portals. Κατά τη διάρκεια της επαγγελματικής της πορείας έχει προσφέρει σε εθελοντική βάση συμβουλευτικές υπηρεσίες καθώς και στήριξη σε παιδιά με ειδικές ικανότητες, κοινωνικές δυσκολίες και δυσκολίες συμπεριφοράς.
