About Stuff 2b Organized
Below you will find a variety of tid-bits about
Stuff 2b Organized, LLC regarding how I got started as
a Professional Organizer to the things I love best
about what I do.
What was your first “organizing moment”?
I remember being scolded by my sixth grade teacher
for rearranging my desk during class time.
How did you get started in professional organizing?
I have a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Sociology
and my career after college segued into working
with children with special needs and their parents.
I learned the importance of flexibility, problem
solving, guidance, and individual attention.
I received many compliments from co-workers.
That motivated me to do a little research online,
and I was excited when I discovered professional
organizing and the National
Association for Professional Organizers (NAPO).
After much research, reading and preparation,
I started Stuff 2b Organized, LLC in January 2000 and
joined NAPO. I am a founding member and past president of the Wisconsin
Chapter of NAPO (NAPO-WI). I am also a member of Faithful Organizers.
What was the first organizing book you read?
I read my first organizing book around the age
of 8: A children’s book called The
Berenstain Bears and the Messy Room. I
loved to look at the pictures of a neat, well-organized
room. I read this same book to my children now and find that it is actually a great story to help teach children the benefits of having a clean and organized room.
What do you love best about your job?
I enjoy that I am able to help people learn new skills that can make an important difference in their everyday lives. I love the end result of any project, but I love the excitement and gratitude of those whom I help even more.
What else is there to know about you?
I live in Johnson Creek, Wisconsin with my husband and three children. When I am not busy being a mom or organizing, I find time for scrapbooking, gardening, reading, family history, and volunteering. |
