“My Mission is to Create Your Vision!”
Nancy Rivera: Professional Organizer, Naples, FL
“Mission: Organizing” had its exciting start in Northern Virginia in 2005. Now in Florida, I bring the same enthusiasm. I have spent many years in working with people in Human Resources and in teaching positions, as well as working as a Project Manager for various industries. On the creative side, I studied Dressmaking, Fashion Designing and Art Design. So, trust me, I know colors and fabric quality!
Where did I learn my organizing skills? With over 20 years of experience working with million dollar projects, learning to plan, prioritize, and schedule, all the while raising a family, managing a home and further advancing my spiritual growth, I have learned through many trials and errors what will work, and what will not.
As an active member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO)*, I receive ongoing education and am committed to professional development, deepening my knowledge in the business of professional organizing. In fact, I recently earned two NAPO Specialist Certificates in the areas of Residential Organizing and Workplace Productivity.
In addition, my initial hands-on experience stems from helping family and friends get organized. After seeing the fantastic and remarkable results, the happiness in their faces, and the difference I made in their lives, I knew that this was the career I wanted to pursue. Now I see the same smiles and excitement in my clients’ faces. This passion has enabled me to see how something that was once a source of stress in my client’s lives, now gives them a sense of peace knowing that everything has a place.
In such a cluttered and stressful world, getting organized is no longer an option, it is a must!!
I adhere to the strictest code of ethics in our profession which is stated very plainly here, courtesy of the National Association of Professional Organizers:
