Experience and Training:

In 2004, I was certified by the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization (NSGCD) as a Certified Professional Organizer-Chronic Disorganization. In 2007, I took the inaugural exam given by the BCPO (Board of Certification of Professional Organizers) and earned an additional title of Certified Professional Organizer. In 2008, I became an ADD Specialist, a certificate awarded by the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization. I continue to attend several conferences a year and take classes throughout the year to keep my studies current. That puts me in the best position to educate my clients.

In 2006, I was elected to a two-year term on the Board of Directors of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO). My position was Director of Education for the Association and national conference. It was a privilege to be in a leadership position as NAPO continues to expand.

I am a member of the National Speakers Association and the TN Nashville chapter and also attend their conferences. Attending the conferences is important, because I want to bring the very best available to my clients!

Helping people get organized and use their time more effectively is very satisfying to me, because I feel I am contributing to other people's quality of life and improving their business efficiency. My business philosophy is Simple is Smart. What is the simplest way we can organize and increase productivity?
