As a former High School Teacher, I am passionate about teaching people and encouraging them to free up their time and space for who and what they love. My process is all about setting my clients up for success and encouraging them along the way. Planning, Executing and Celebrating are the cornerstones to effective change.
I’m so grateful that I joined NAPO at the start of my Professional Organizing career in 2021. It’s a wonderful community that allows me to connect with others and continue my love of lifelong learning.

I grew up with lots of clutter, and I am not a naturally organized person, but I was also that friend (sister, guest) who would open your coat closet, packed floor-to-ceiling with stuff, and see immediately imagine how it could be cleared out and well organized. I always loved tackling a “messy closet,” just not my own.
Like many of us, during COVID, I grew to see how clutter was causing problems in my life. This led to my mid-career shift from policy analysis to becoming a professional organizer. I founded Declutter For good with the goals of 1) de-stigmatizing and taking the shame out of the clutter and disorder many of us live with, and 2) ensuring that my client’s “trash” is transformed into “treasures” benefitting their neighbors and community.
Since joining NAPO-DC in 2023, I have loved getting to know many members, and learned a lot from fellow organizers, meetings, and sessions. I look forward to engaging more deeply and making our Chapter even stronger!Jennifer Jackson, JLJ Organizing

I am a fully insured, NAPO certified residential organizing specialist based in Alexandria, Virginia and I'm interested in subcontracting to other professional organizers in the DMV area. I'm available for full time jobs and have considerable flexibility Monday through Sunday. My experience includes organizing for a newly returned veteran from overseas deployment who needed to unpack boxes of clothing she hadn't seen in years; friends who had just moved into a new house and trying to figure out the best way to organize their wardrobes; a widow who was ready to reorganize her bedroom closet that she had shared for 30 years with her spouse, among other friends and family members with unique needs.Jeanne Fox-Alston, Your Space Made to Order

Problem Solving is a hobby of mine. In my previous career in marketing and market research, I used research, listening skills, flexibility and creative thinking to understand peoples wants and needs. As the owner of One to Zen Organizing, I help people gain control of their clutter by providing a framework for each person's personal journey toward organization. Because I believe that everyone deserves to feel calm and organized.
I joined NAPO-DC in 2018 and really enjoy the warmth of its members and the insightful discussions that we share about all-things-organizing. I am looking forward to giving back to our Chapter.
