Beginning in 1965, Donna applied her
organizing talents in the corporate world. Very early, it
became apparent that her unique skills were beneficial.
She developed customized systems for record-keeping, forms, filing, procedures, time and space
management in every office she worked. Her expertise evolved in the insurance, business and property
management, and sales arenas.
In 1984, this pioneer Professional Organizer,
founded her own business (unheard of at the time) on the
basis of the Golden Rule and
a sincere desire to help others become and stay organized. She applies her creative
and organizational talents, learned skills and hands-on experience
to perform organizing services and privately
coach clients in corporate offices, small businesses and
residences.
With a passion to make a difference and
a goal to empower each client, Donna
helps individuals and companies regain control of their paperwork, time, space and
lives. She gently guides those who are anxious to change their
situations and habits. Many affectionately say she's their
personal
"Clutter Therapist."
Continuing Education
includes courses offered through the National
Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), NAPO-Los Angeles, and the
National Study Group on Chronic
Disorganization (NSGCD). Donna earned the NSGCD Certificate of
Study in Chronic Disorganization in May 2005. She also continues
to attend seminars focusing on entrepreneurship, marketing and various
organizing industry specialties (time management, etc.)
Donna
is a professional organizer, consultant, coach, trainer,
