Step One Organizing

Bio

I was not born organized.  I used to be late all the time; I lost my keys, lost my wallet; lost my shoes in the bottom of the closet.   But I wanted to be organized, and living that way felt like failure to me.  It's taken me years and necessity to get my world into a state of order that gives me calm. When you gain control over your time and spaces, you too can be more productive.

I spent 18 years working in television production.  In those years I learned, sometimes the hard way, that unless you are organized, you cannot get a show on the air on time and on budget.  I had amazing mentors along the way who taught me time management, people management, and space management -- all while engaged in a creative enterprise.

I left my career behind to be a stay-at-home mom.  As a parent, the disparate elements of my organizational style - disorganized personally, but organized professionally, came together in a hurry.   As a mom, being organized provides for my kids' well being and my own personal sanity. 

I started my Northern Virginia-based organizing and productivity business because I love creating order out of chaos and making things work efficiently.  I get true joy and satisfaction from seeing my skills improve people’s lives.  

My work continues to evolve as I have become a Certified Organizer Coach, A Certified Productivity Coach, and a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach. I love all the ways I can support my clients.
