In May 2016, Tori joined the Get Organized! Team in Tyler, TX as a part-time organizer and part-time Client Manager. A few months later, she transitioned to Client Manager only and has done an excellent job serving our clients remotely from east Texas. Her primary role as Client Manager is to help our clients and Professional Organizers with scheduling, invoicing, and other daily tasks. She loves office work and working remotely, so she feels she is “living her best life!” Many who speak with Tori on the phone mention her sweet, southern accent, and find her voice comforting while discussing their difficult circumstances. Tori has a heart the size of Texas and has been blessed with gifts of patience and caring many of our clients appreciate. She is pleased to often be the first point-of-contact and see the positive transformation our work offers our extremely vulnerable clients.

Josie is a Client Manager for Get Organized!, and takes good care of our clients. She enjoys office work and learning how our various staff members work together to give the clients a positive experience as they begin their organizing journey.

As a military brat, Josie lived in Japan, California, and finally, Texas. In 2009 she received her degree in Business Systems Technology from Cisco College near Abilene, and in 2013, she married her high school sweetheart. Josie dealt with a chronic illness for many years, all while gaining an understanding of how life can be interrupted and a home can spiral into chaos. After undergoing 4 major surgeries, she is in full remission and enjoying life once more.

Josie and her husband have a 10 year old daughter who is active in competitive cheer and modeling. She and her husband took up photography when they saw a need for publicity shots for their daughter, and became quite skilled at capturing her individually and in group events. This skillset allowed Josie to take over as in-house photographer, shooting headshots and photos of our organizers at work.

While Josie handles our clients with care in the office, and captures our organizers in photographs, she is also a social media butterfly. She will be overseeing our social media sites while posting on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts.

Josie says, "My favorite part about my position with Get Organized! is the wonderful people I get to know each day. I enjoy listening to the needs of our clients and matching them with an organizer who can fulfill their dreams of being organized. I know the Lord put me on this Earth to inspire others with my testimony, but I never thought I would be in a position to receive inspiration as well. I am thankful for our clients and watching them through their journey as they get organized."

As Social Media Coordinator, Julie specializes in creating brand awareness for Get Organized! and developing positive interaction between our company and our devoted fans.

Julie worked in several capacities in libraries until transitioning to part-time work with GO! She has experience with marketing, management, editing, and community engagement and her library background makes her well-suited to finding and sourcing information online for others. As a wife and a mother of three boys (twins and a singleton), she developed a passion for using organization, simplicity, and resourcefulness to manage the chaos of everyday life for her family.

Julie is very interested in the practical ways information access changes lives and in addition, how organization impacts quality of life. She combines these interests to broaden the social media reach of Get Organized!, helping others discover the joys of organization.

Born in East Texas, Jennifer moved back to Texas after living in Monroe, Louisiana for 25 years. As a young stay-at-home mom of three, she was highly involved with volunteering in both her local school and church. After raising her children, Jennifer turned to helping others at a small clothes closet outreach ministry through her church.

Jennifer volunteered for two years, then took over as Store Director of the growing Thrift Store managing 14 employees and 50 volunteers for eight years. She successfully took her vision for a thriving store to an end product that serves others on a much larger scale.

Jennifer’s references used a lot of the same positive words to describe her work ethic: organized, compassionate, and detail oriented. Additionally, while working and overseeing all aspects of the Thrift Store, Jennifer also managed the church benevolence program.

She is task oriented, strong in paper management, handy with tools for assembling bookshelves and other organizing products, has excellent project management skills, and can break a large job into smaller steps to complete the project. She has first-hand experience at purging and downsizing, which she recently put to the test when moving to the DFW area from her home of 22 years in Louisiana.

Jennifer’s hobbies include cooking, baking, gardening, water sports, and spending time with her family and friends. She has had many life experiences that will be beneficial to our Get Organized! clients, not only with organization, but with purging, family management, and working with seniors.

Jeanice is a Nebraska native, but has made Texas her home since 1987. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Administration of Justice and worked in this field for ten years before starting her family. She has been blessed with a loving husband who works in the aviation field and has enabled her to stay at home and raise their two beautiful daughters who are now both in college.

While raising their family, Jeanice has worn many hats including working as a substitute teacher in public and private schools. This led to many volunteer hours teaching Entomology to 4-H students, attending events as a Girl Scout mom, as President of a local PTA, helping complete Eagle projects, and within her church.

Over 32 years of marriage, Jeanice and her family moved thirteen times. With these moves Jeanice developed an exceptional understanding of the value of eliminating clutter before a home resale so potential buyers could mentally move in. Her moving experiences taught her to de-clutter before packing, pack efficiently, and to coordinate all aspects of moving.

Jeanice has a passion for the preservation of memories and has assisted clients for the past ten years as a Scrapbook Coordinator developing traditional and digital scrapbooks. “A family creates memories every day. To savor and enjoy those memories should be a blessing you can bestow on the generations to come by sharing your handwritten stories of today!".

As a professional organizer Jeanice is gifted in many other areas that help our clients. She is an exceptionally hard worker and has a personality that quickly steps up and takes charge of any project to completion. She can build furniture, use organizing tools and products, and she knows her way around a sewing and craft room. Got paper clutter? Jeanice is outstanding organizing personal paper piles or an in-home office or purging the appropriate documents for a small business and creating a more efficient filing system. Paper management is unique to every situation and Jeanice can determine what is needed and how to store documents for easy retrieval.

When asked her favorite type of organizing, Jeanice said she loves to work with seniors and their families. Seniors often have special needs based on aging including physical limitations and diminishing eyesight. This may require larger labelling and systems that can be accessed by the senior or their adult children. When in transition, seniors face challenges with downsizing such as making decisions on what possessions to keep, letting go of favorite family items, and dealing with memory issues and the extreme sense of loss. Jeanice has managed these challenges within her own family and with many clients and would be the perfect organizer for a senior or their family wanting a downsizing, space planning, and organizing plan to meet their individual needs.

Her experience in caring for aging family members has seasoned her to become a lead organizer helping clients downsize. Benita is both graceful and effective at making progress with her senior clients and ensuring the senior and their families get the desired results.

Benita began her life in Alabama but has become a Texan with great knowledge of her community and school district. After earning a degree in Medical Technology from Mississippi State University, she worked in a clinical laboratory for several years until motherhood called. After taking several years off, she returned to work part time providing health screenings to preschool and school-aged children throughout DFW. Due to her numerous organizing skills, a friend of Benita’s suggested she look into becoming a professional organizer and she joined the Get Organized! team in the spring of 2016.

A natural at organizing, she is quite comfortable with just about any project where she is using tools and building/installing organizing products. Benita is a forward thinker and one who will research a solution if she does not already have one. In fact, those who know Benita say, “she would do anything for you, she gets things done, and she can multitask well under stress.” As an active volunteer, Benita has served on numerous Boards of Directors for various organizations since college graduation. These years of service have helped her understand various personality types and interact effectively with them.

Benita and her family are avid travelers who enjoy seeing other parts of the country/world but have a strong affinity for the beach.

Monique was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, and attended Midwestern State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. She worked for Delta Airlines until she resigned to begin the next phase of her life... motherhood.

Now, as a professional organizer, Monique draws on the skills she developed during her childhood, putting friends to work in her room rearranging furniture and helping organize her closet. The love for her craft is evident in her meticulous attention to the needs and goals of her clients. Monique can organize closets, collectibles, and photos, but her talents truly stand out in staging a house for resale or decorating a new home.

This is where her organizational skills became an asset. As a designer, Pat enjoys working with clients, listening to their needs so the residence/office functions well and looks nice, too. She enjoys creativity, decluttering, repurposing of a space or piece of furniture, staging interiors, helping clients transition from one home to another, and “making order” in a home while providing comfort, organization and beauty. While some may run from a “messy” situation, Pat is fulfilled by seeing the project successfully resolved.

Pat completed her education with a B.S. in Interior Design from The University of Mississippi. She has worked for many years as an Interior Designer as well as owned a consulting design business. Her family’s move to the North Dallas area 27 years ago, brought many changes to her life. With three small children and a husband who traveled for business, Pat had to quickly learn to manage her family’s routines and spaces, creating a calm and organized home.

Pat is a doer. She excels in solving space and function challenges, from the tiniest of apartments to the largest homes or offices. Also, she is knowledgeable and gifted in areas like sewing, quilting, jewelry design and Christmas and holiday decorating. She has personal experience helping families organize personal files and belongings after the passing of loved ones.

Among her pastimes, Pat enjoys flea markets and antique shops, gardening, knitting, reading, and riding with her husband on his motorcycle. On holidays or family activities, she enjoys hosting meals with family and friends while decorating tables and areas with seasonal décor. She also serves as a counsel to women through various stages of life and enjoys her Bible studies group. For Pat, having a home is wonderful, but to have an organized home is even better!

Kathleen was born and raised in southern Arizona where she received her bachelor’s degree in Fashion Merchandising with a minor in Marketing from The University of Arizona. Fresh out of college, Kathleen began her career with JCPenny, bringing her to Dallas, Texas. She quickly transitioned from retail to wholesale and worked for seven years before becoming a stay-at-home mom.

Growing up, her parents owned a contracting company and Kathleen would often be at the office and in the field getting the custom homes ready for move-in. These years of hands-on experience taught her to be very handy with tools, how to manage paper, run an office, and work with subcontractors. The next milestone was marrying her sweetheart and after some time as a couple they started a family and a business.

God has given Jane the gift of administration, and she uses that gift to physically help and emotionally encourage people to reach their goals. She sees the big picture when creating an organizing plan and is skilled at communicating the fine details to her clients.

When talking to Jane’s references, they commented about her many great qualities such as her ability to motivate people, her confidence, and her sense of vision when planning a project. She is driven, very caring, and a good leader, all the attributes needed in a professional organizer.

Jane enjoys “treasure hunting” at estate/garage sales and is always looking for a bargain. Versatile is the word Jane often uses when recommending organizing products. “While a product often serves a single purpose, it’s even better when it can meet more than one. I find it a fun challenge to figure out how to make the most of storage spaces and I like products that help reach that goal.”

With so many strengths, Jane will inspire you with organizing solutions for your home. She is also gifted in other areas such as decorating, craft rooms, garages, closets, organizing photo prints, and putting together furniture.

Jane’s skillset was well used as the founder of a private Christian school in Iowa. She was the marketing director, helped design and build many award-winning floats for the school parade, helped decorate the school lobby at Christmas time, and set up the annual fundraising garage sale for over 15 years. Fortunately, Jane is not easily overwhelmed by complicated projects.

She and her husband have invested in and remodeled several rental properties and houseboats. Their current weekend “tiny house” on the lake has helped her understand small spaces and develop many ideas for extra storage. Following her two grown children and their families to Texas, she did her own downsizing, which allows her to relate to those ready to do more with less.

Jane enjoys traveling, boating, snorkeling, and classic cars, but most of all she is excited to be close to her children and grandchildren.

A proud 5th generation Texan, Michelle has always loved to organize. Spending more than half her childhood with her beloved grandma Hazel, she’s a grandma’s girl. She grew up with a strong foundation of love and kindness and a strong, healthy dose of frugality. As a little girl, she would rearrange her room and organize her things in bins, lining them up on her toy shelf. Fast-forward to her adult years, she organizes her home for her own family, and takes great pride in living in a clean, clutter-free environment.

Michelle comes to Get Organized! as a nostalgic gal. She is a lover of old dogs, old cars, and old homes. Having a lot of new things does not always make for a happy life, and the same can be said for organizing. Michelle excels in making the things you already have work for your current space.

A graduate of University of Texas at Dallas, Michelle studied PR/Marketing and worked in the corporate world as a business development director for a large engineering firm for many years. She later partnered with a longtime friend turned business partner and started a commercial cleaning company. Michelle is now ready to take her organizing hobby and turn it into a fulfilling career. “I want to help people de-clutter their homes and make their spaces functional, ultimately creating a lifestyle that brings a feeling of organized freedom.” She knows that a pretty space is only a small part of what organizing can do for a home and family. It can be a lifesaver for struggling marriages, adult children downsizing parents, and the stress that comes with packing or unpacking after a move.

Michelle can help her clients with household and personal paper systems, turning small closets into craft storage, maximizing closet space, and organizing camping and outdoor equipment in garages. She recognizes high-end and trendy products for fall and Christmas decorating. She is an excellent coordinator of moving jobs, not only packing and unpacking, but everything from de-cluttering, staging, scheduling pickup of unwanted items, and setting up a new home. Simply put, Michelle can handle large projects, is not afraid of getting dirty, and brings people together to accomplish organizing goals.

Married, a mother of two children, two cats, and a hamster, Michelle lives in a small mid-century home. Her lifestyle has its challenges and she has been creative and crafty with her own living spaces, turning closets into small, workable offices, making small bathrooms more useful, and turning little nooks into usable space.

In addition to organizing, Michelle has been involved in her children’s school, serving as PTA President and currently on the PTA board at both her kid’s schools. This desire to serve her community has allowed her to be involved in one of the largest modern home tours in North Texas. She has been a part of this committee for 7+ years and has been involved with the planning of the tour, client walk-throughs with the homeowners, staging of homes using high-end products, and helping get homes ready for a 2,500+ patron tour weekend. She was also named the 2020-2021 Bryan Adams High School Distinguished Alumni for her community service in the same neighborhood that raised her to be the person she is now.

Julia joined the Get Organized! team with a passion for finding organizing solutions for individuals and families ready to enjoy a more comfortable life. She is a native of Illinois where she spent many years of her life on a farm. This proved beneficial to learning patience, perseverance, hard work, and growing her faith in God.

In 1989, as a newly married professional project manager, Julia and her husband were transferred from the western suburbs of Chicago to Plano, Texas. She began her journey as a stay-at-home mom when they had children, including years of volunteer work with schools, band boosters, church, and community. 

As her family grew, Julia took her creativity and developed a home improvement business focused on restoration of kitchens, bathrooms, and furniture. As the owner and artist of Unique Creations, she worked with families of all types and budgets to make their homes one-of-a-kind spaces. Julia became very experienced with space planning, appliance and lighting configurations, hanging wall groupings, and paint matching of floors, furniture, walls, etc. She is very hands-on and her work with drills, grinders, circular saws, and other tools make Julia a great garage organizer.

Owning her own business enhanced and developed her project management skills, understanding of current trends, ability to stage a variety of spaces, confidence with tools, and finding solutions quickly and efficiently. A gift to see beyond the current situation and focus on what "will be" is what makes Julia a natural at organization. She excels in managing complex organizing jobs, leading groups of subcontractors, and turning trash into treasures when repurposing items in a client’s home.

Married since 1989 and raising 3 children, Julia enjoys leading Bible studies, gardening, biking, animals, family, and friends, and most of all, being a grandmother to her grandson. 

Pam was born in southern California and moved to Texas in 4th grade. She attended college at the University of Texas at Arlington, where she earned a BBA in Operations Management. Her first job was as a flight attendant with American Airlines. During her 10 year career with American, she met and married her husband, Kyle, in Washington, DC. They moved to Florida where her husband was in flight school for the Navy. After earning his wings, they moved again, this time to Virginia. As a military spouse with her husband on 6-month deployments, it left Pam at home taking care of household duties from paperwork and bill paying to small fix-it jobs around the house. She learned to be independent and get things done.

Pam left American Airlines after her first child was born and the country was hit by the 9/11 terrorist acts. At home in Texas again, she decided to become a stay-at-home mom as it allowed her to volunteer for many of her children's activities and be heavily involved in their formative years. She was a room mom, swim team volunteer coordinator, middle school dance club board member, football special events coordinator, and PTA volunteer. As her three children, Brock, Chase, and McKenna moved beyond the need for her constant involvement in their activities, she decided it was time to jump back into a career.

The organizing industry is the perfect place for Pam to use her past experience as a military wife. She is well skilled in packing and unpacking for moves, coordinating life events, managing a household and personal papers, and honed her sense of organizing small spaces during her time as a flight attendant. Over the years Pam has learned to do a lot with a little.

Pam loves a pretty pantry that also meets the needs of a family. She is skilled at finding and using space that would otherwise be wasted. She can turn a cluttered and disorganized garage into a well-organized space with storage for overflow of the home. 

Everyone who meets Pam instantly forms a connection with her. She has a contagious joy about her, is easy-going, a hard worker, and has a servant spirit that our clients will love.

Pam enjoys playing tennis, snow skiing, cooking, shopping estate sales, and spending time with her beloved family rescue Labrador.
