My Biography
Hello Everyone!
I'm delighted and proud to announce that this month (December ) marks the 20th anniversary (2001) of my business, and also as a NAPO golden circle member & POLI founding Member! Over the years my business and work has expanded, beyond my dreams! From the beginning, my NAPO membership provided me a solid platform for validating, educating, and encouraging my work as an organizer. It provided a network of resources and like-minded people to connect with, and to give to, and to grow with, and to learn from...and it hasn't stopped yet! You are my tribe, a family...and I will always be grateful!
My heartfelt THANK YOU to all those of you who's paths have crossed mine, and to each of you for allowing me the honor of being a part of 'the family' and a part of our wonderful industry. And of course my wonderful clients throughout the past 20 years!
With gratitude, I wish everyone Happy Holidays
I
have been organizing people’s homes since I was a young girl. My
first job, at age 16, was at a lawn service company on Long Island,
which hired me to re-organize and update their filing system. I did
such a great job in the month I was there, that I was no longer
needed.
After receiving my MBA graduate degree from Adelphi University, I
attended the Metropolitan School of Interior Design. I now combine
my experience and education and combine it with organizing with
Design in Mind.
Prior to professional organizing, I worked for Fortune 100 companies in marketing. Now I employ the principles of organizing to enhance the lives of others through the design of systems and processes.
I enjoy organizing immensely. In doing this I have helped my clients enjoy such a great feeling of accomplishment. They, too, are so very satisfied since their lives became simpler and less stressed. Now they function more efficiently which makes their lives easier to manage on a day to day basis. They also feel their homes are more appealing.
Over the years, I developed a level of mastery in organization and became an inaugural Certified Professional Organizer® in 2007, an accomplishment I am proud of as there are only a few hundred of us in the world.
In addition to my passion for organizing, I add a creative flare
to your home in the art of decorating. I enjoy nothing more than to
turn a cluttered home into a beautiful environment where it becomes
a place where you can finally breathe and enjoy your home.
I am known to pay attention to detail and understand the emotional
and psychological issues in dealing with clutter. In addition to
running my own company for 19 years, I am a wife and mother of 2
children and knows first hand how important it is to be organized.

Definition of a Professional Organizer
A professional residential organizer is an individual that provides hands-on organizing, consulting, coaching, workshops, seminars and/or products to help individuals to become organized and maintain a system of organization that best suits their needs.
As Defined by NAPO: A professional organizer enhances the lives of clients by designing systems and processes using organizing principles and through transferring organizing skills. A professional organizer also educates the public on organizing solution and the resulting benefits bringing Peace, Balance and Harmony To Everyday Living
"Your profession is not what brings home your paycheck.
Your profession is what you were put on earth to do with
such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual
in calling." ~~~~~Vincent Van Gogh~~~~~

As we organize our homes and offices and belongings and time, we also organize our minds. As we feel more organized mentally, we feel better emotionally. As we feel better emotionally, we are more able to set and reach our goals.
When people ask me what I do I say" I help people use the space in their home more efficiently so that they have more room & logical space for everything
Miriam from West Hempstead: Enjoyed our time together and loving my new desk and feeling like I can tackle some more myself.
