EXPERIENCE

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."
