I’ve
been working as a Professional Organizer for almost
a decade, but for me it’s more than just a job.
Organizing is my passion. When I started my business
in 2003, I was the only organizing business in Atlantic
Canada.
In
my quest to become a true leader in my profession, I
received my Certified Professional Organizer® designation
in January of 2008 after a rigorous 2-hour exam and
reaching a minimum number of hours of work experience.
I remain one of only seven in Canada who have reached
this goal and, as a result, am required to complete
a minimum number of continuing education credits and
re-certify every 3 years.You can be certain I am always
learning in order to provide you with the best service
possible.
I’ve
helped entrepreneurs, managers and other busy professionals,
assisting with any number of jobs to make their lives easier.
What
I do depends on what you need done.
I
enjoy working one-on-one with clients. This can mean anything
from rolling up my sleeves and tackling a chaotic storage
closet to setting up a filing system for paper or electronic
files or even re-designing your office with new furniture
to ensure your space works for you and looks great at the
same time. The sky’s the limit.
I
also enjoy working with teams of people. I’m often asked
to lead team training sessions on subjects such as time management,
increasing productivity, and e-mail management.
Streamlining
your stuff - saving time and money
Your
stuff requires systems and organizing processes, but as busy
professionals you don’t always have the time or the
knowledge to create these systems.
I
can help you take control of your life so you can focus on
the important things.
Being
organized isn’t just about tidying up that messy desk
or deleting emails. It’s about designing systems to
remove barriers and bring clarity to your work.
It’s
also about saving you time and money.
Too much stuff? Not enough time?
Is
your email inbox overflowing? Do you forget where you put
things down?
Is your messy desk stressing you out?
You
are not alone. We live in a world with too much stuff and
not enough time.
There
is nothing wrong with stuff if you have places to put it.
But if you don’t, your stuff can become piles of clutter
and a source of stress.
This
slows you down and costs you time and money. That’s
where I come in.
Let
me help you clear the clutter so you can take control of your
work and life and achieve your goals with a renewed sense
of clarity.
Being organized is in my bones
As
a child, my toy box was a study in organization. Everything
had its place: the Barbie dolls were on one side, the doll
clothes were close by and neatly folded, and each toy had
its place. Nothing was ever left on the floor.
Even
as a teenager, I was organized. Each morning was timed so
that I would arrive at the bus stop two minutes before the
bus arrived. If that meant standing in the porch of my house
for ten minutes all dressed to go with my books in hand, then
that is what I did.
I
think it was my mother’s influence. She was a librarian
and I think organizing came naturally to her. Everything had
a place. Lists were made, followed and – if appropriate
- used again the next year.
I
grew up being organized and it wasn’t until I was an
adult that I knew there was any other way.
I’ve
been working as a Professional Organizer for almost
a decade, but for me it’s more than just a job.
