As an Applied Positive Psychology Practitioner, I bring the science and evidence-based resources of positive psychology and mind-body medicine to my work as a professional organizer, credentialed life coach and resilience trainer.  But before all that, I worked in Corporate America :).

I started out working in advertising sales and production for four trade magazines before being hired as an account executive for a pharmaceutical advertising agency. I then worked for several years as a project manager for a successful qualitative market research firm, where I first became fascinated with human behavior. In all three positions, I relied heavily upon my organizational skills to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet almost impossibly tight deadlines. 

In addition to organizing, I support clients as a positive psychology-based life coach and resilience trainer.  I help people set and meet career and life goals that align with their core beliefs and character strengths in a safe and supportive environment. I hold an ACC credential from the International Coaching Federation.

I recently earned an MA in Happiness Studies (the science of wellbeing) from Centenary University, studying directly under positive psychology and leadership expert Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar. I also hold a BBA in General Business from Pace University. In addition, I hold certifications in applied positive psychology, resilience training and positive psychology coaching from The Flourishing Center in NYC. I've also completed the Professional and Advanced Training programs in Mind-Body Medicine at The Center for Mind-Body Medicine.

Co-author of the book Beyond Tidy: Declutter Your Mind and Discover the Magic of Organized Living, from Skyhorse Publishing.

I have been singing and doing local and regional theatre since my late teens. My other hobbies include working out, travel, and spending quality time with family and friends.

Married to JP for 30 years and mom to 24-year-old Julianna.

While working in both corporate and non-profit sectors, I gained an extensive background and skill set in business, sales, marketing, customer service, event planning, and hospitality.

I started my sales career in a major Fortune 500 corporation. Within a few years, I worked my way up the sales ladder to senior account sales executive. Excellent time and territory management skills were critical to my success in consistently attaining my extensive sales goals.  After a short time, I was promoted to area sales manager while pursuing a graduate degree.  From there, I was hired as director of sales/marketing for a nationally known relief organization.  Operational strategies and organizational skills were essential in managing my team and handling the significant workload for which my department was responsible.

I earned a BS in Marketing and an MBA in Business Management from St. John’s University.  Both degrees have helped me advance my career to higher leadership roles, where I eventually became an entrepreneur and co-owner of Organize Me! of NY, LLC.

I'm a published co-author of the self-help book Beyond Tidy: Declutter Your Mind and Discover the Magic of Organized Living.

I have been studying martial arts for almost 20 years and am currently a Third Degree Black Belt in Elite Goju Karate.  In my spare time, I teach martial arts and self-defense to both adults and children.

I enjoy outdoor activities, trying different cuisines, and sharing time with family and friends. I'm open to a good challenge and willing to try anything once.

Married to Freddie for 31 years and mother to Daniella, 25 and Nicolas, 24.
