Alys Milner alysmilner@comcast.net’s Summary
I worked for twenty years in both the corporate and non-profit sector in positions of management, administration, fund raising and design. This eclectic background has provided a solid foundation for my work as a professional organizer. I enjoy sharing my skills in one-on-one relationships with my organizing clients. I find it gratifying working with others to achieve their goal of a contained, organized and functioning environment. I love the organizing process as well as the finished "product", that of a happy, energized and organized client.
