I started my business as a Professional Organizer in June of 2003. Since that time, I have also been a member of NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers) and attend the annual conferences to take full advantage of all educational opportunities as well as keep apprised of the latest trends and organizational skills. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management from the University of Southern Mississippi and have worked in the construction industry for 20+ years. This experience covers a diverse range of specialties and working environments. From participating as a team member in a large corporation to managing a construction office, I have experienced success in the areas of marketing, sales, contract negotiations, estimating, scheduling, project management, project close-out, project analysis, and accounting. In each of these areas my “gift” of organization has been a critical tool in my success. I now utilize my organizational skills to provide a variety of services as a Professional Organizer, Trainer and Personal Assistant. My experience in the construction industry has provided me with additional skills to benefit my clients in training them in ways of scheduling, time management, managing personnel, records management, goals and commitments. Whether managing a building project, organizing a home or corporate office, or assisting with managing everyday personal record keeping, my experience will assist you in achieving your organizational goals.
