Whoo Can I Help How To's
How To: purge and organize your kitchen, declutter the clutter, manage the junk drawer and storage closet.
Whoo AM I — with 41 years of education experience, it's time to show others how to use organizational and multitasking skills in everyday life. While I worked as Director of Auxiliary Programs, Athletic Departments, and Student Life, I have watched working people juggle multiple daily responsibilities, while stuffing the "stresses" into drawers or closets. Join me for one or all three of this series. I would love to share tips and lend a helping hand to get your spaces in order ahead of spring cleaning.

We will focus on body awareness, posture, learning to lean, and cadence.
