Jan's previous experience as a teacher makes it easy for her to encourage lasting organizational changes with clients. She breaks down ideas and expresses them in a way that her clients can easily understand and put to use right away in their lives. Jan individualizes or customizes each space to fit each client's needs. Her work experience in the legal, marketing and corporate management fields have expanded her problem-solving, time management and paper management skills for her residential and business clients.

Jan began her organizing business in 1998 and is a member of NAPO and the NAPO-San Diego chapter. She has been a Golden Circle member since 2003 (organizers who have had their business for five or more years). Her volunteer works include leading tours at the Helen Woodward Animal Center and volunteering at their special events.

In 2007, Jan earned the prestigious designation of Certified Professional Organizer^® She was among the first 200 in the industry to earn the CPO^® designation in its inaugural year. Certification recognizes professionals who have met specific qualifications and who have proven through examination and client interaction that they possess the body of knowledge and experience required for the professional organizing industry. The program recognizes and raises industry standards, practices, and ethics.

She operates according to a simple philosophy: The effective operation of a space is more important than how it looks. Each space must fit the personality of the individual client. Jan's greatest organizing strength is her patience. She stays with a job all the way through to completion, no matter how long it takes. Jan is a great motivator, is very methodical, reliable, and makes organizing fun!
