Your organizer  is Marilyn, a lifelong Alaskan, born and raised in Anchorage. A registered nurse with an MBA, she has spent her career in hospitals, community health centers, and the private sector in both clinical and executive management roles. She owned a very busy top-rated bed and breakfast for 8 years in downtown Anchorage. She became interested in the organizational and mininimizing realm when she sold her B and B in 2020 and it was necessary to consolidate two very fully furnished homes, with a total between them of 3 kitchens, 7 bedrooms, 3 living rooms, 2 dining rooms ... you get the picture.  A situation of overwhelming proportions of too much stuff, clutter, and disorganization ensued. She found her way out of it when she took the Joshua Becker Uncluttered course in 2020.  This course opened the door to the peace, clarity  and calm that comes with an uncluttered, organized home.  She has since completed the Becker Method professional training and she is currently completing a professional organizing certification through the QC Design School.  She believes in the power of the benefits of decluttering and minimizing, and wants to help you find them too.
