As a “Vision Accelerator,” my passion is giving others H.O.P.E (Helping Others Pursue Entrepreneurship).
I began my career in the organizing industry in 1978 with a $7 ad in a New York City newspaper. Often referred to as the “Paper Tiger Lady” from my bestselling book "Taming the Paper Tiger," I founded Productive Environment Institute in order to train and certify consultants in my unique organizing methodology to become Certified Productive Environment Specialists™.

My most recent book, "Less Clutter More Life," reveals that physical and digital clutter is a symptom of emotional and spiritual clutter. I love to support other professionals to publish books, so I collaborated with CPES™ Judith Guertin to publish "Taming the Digital Tiger: Gmail Edition."

As a follower of Jesus, my continuous prayer is that others will feel His love through me, whether I ever say His name.
