I am the owner of Clearly Organized.  It has long been my dream to start my own business.  I have always been a super-organized Monica type (Hello, Friends).  As a family, we have moved 8 times, which helped me hone my organizing and staging skills.  Thus was born Clearly Organized.   I love the relationships we develop with our clients. We walk along beside you in your organizing journey, providing help and encouragement.

I spent many years as an elementary school teacher and then a stay-at-home mom. I am married to my high school sweetheart and am a proud mom of two amazing boys. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, soaking up the sun at the beach, and reading.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
