Early Signs My mother knew when I color-coded my sock drawer as a young child. And my sister learned she could never 'borrow' a shirt without asking because I could always tell when something was missing from my perfectly organized closet. Some of us are wired with the organizing gene and truly love to do what others dread or struggle with. They say, do what you love, the money will follow. In 2003, after 20 years as a marketing professional, this is exactly what I did, creating Details etc.®  with the philosophy organize to simplify. Personal Connection As an organizer I work one-on-one with clients to achieve their specific goals. Each session creates visible, tangible results. I measure success by how this process creates renewal, increased productivity and what for some, is a life-changing event. The First Career A native Angeleno, I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in health science before starting a career in Marketing (principally in the health care industry). Marketing presents a new challenge everyday, just like organizing. Being resourceful, a good problem solver, and having a keen eye for details continue to serve me well as an Organizer. Now I'm a "Professional" Organizer Upon launching my company I immediately joined NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers). I served on the board of the Los Angeles chapter of  NAPO as Treasurer for three years.  In May 2007, I earned the designation of Certified Professional Organizer® after passing the inaugural exam for Professional Organizers.   Make a difference in your life now - organize to simplify.
