April Welch, CPO’s Experience
-
Certified Professional Organizer
Simply Organized (Self-employed)
(Self-Employed; 1-10 employees; Individual & Family Services industry)
March 2004 — Present (5 years 5 months)
As a Certified Professional Organizer I go into people's spaces (either physically or virtually) & help them sort through the clutter. I work from a belief that getting organized is a process of understanding how your brain is wired & accommodating the habits you already have. By the end of your project you are aware of what works for you & how to improve on it!
