About Me
My background
Am I going to tell you that as a child I kept my room spotless and I organized my crayons by color NOPE! I have discovered over the years that I love to organize and have a niche' for it. And that I understand the importance of having organization in your home for both your physical and mental well-being.
As far as my professional life goes, I have a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work and have spent 15 yrs working in post-secondary education. Both running a Financial Aid Department and being an Audit Manager. I was meticulous about my files keeping them in perfect order passing financial audits flawlessly which lead me to auditing other people's work. I kept organized digital systems to keep track of hundreds of current and in-coming students and all of their funding. There was a lot to keep track of and I set up the systems to maintain sanity in my everyday work life.
I am detail-oriented and like things to make sense. Personally was a different story! I live in a 900+ sq ft house with my husband (who moved into my house with all of his life's belongings) and then we had a baby (and all the stuff that comes with baby). All of that change happening within months of each other. My 900+ sq foot house blew up in my face. With the chaos of life and all this "stuff" surrounding me I felt like I would eventually lose my mind. We couldn't afford a bigger house so I had to figure it out. So, I started to organize, and de-clutter, organize and de-clutter and organize and de-clutter.
I realized that I LOVED it! I loved seeing the before and after and the feeling of accomplishment that came with it. I say it's like a "cleansing" because of instant the calm and peace I felt with having everything in it's place. I realized that I couldn't always control what was going on in my life but I could control my surroundings.
With a little imagination, some creativity and a lot of organizing I could bring calm into my life. That's when I realized I could use my skills from work and my LOVE for organizing and simplifying to help others!
How I got started
As I started the organizing and simplifying transformation on my own house my friends and family could not believe their eyes. I utilized every square foot of my 900+ square foot house transforming the walls to my basement into a functional pantry, using the inside of closets as storage for tin foil and baggies, installing a closet system and the list goes on and on. I was being told by everyone that saw my house that I have a niche' for organizing and I should do it for others. So, that's when I started to help others organize their spaces and eventually started Simplify Your Life.

“My basement was a disaster! Corrie came in and put her vision to work. Now my basement is orderly and functional! I am so happy with the results.” Marge-North Providence, RI
“Corrie was great to work with. I was embarrassed of the mess of stuff I accumulated over the last several years. She made me feel comfortable and in a matter of hours, helped me get rid of a lot and find a permanent place for my most important things. I know I’ll use her services again in the future. Thanks so much!” Ashley-Smithithfield, RI
“Corrie is wonderful to work with! Not only did I feel comfortable having her in my home but I felt that my needs were really understood. Corrie worked on 5 Rooms in my home building systems for us that fit my family. I’m happy to say it’s been over a month since we first started working with her and the organization systems are still in use (that’s no small feat for a family of 6 plus a dog!). Thank you so much. I’m already planning our next project.” Amanda R.-Cranston, RI
Corrie what a godsend! Corrie has come to my home when it was in the worst shape ever. She looked beyond my clutter and said "we can do this." So incredibly easy to talk with and tell her what I needed. Corrie totally got me! I feel so much better, everything has a home, closet/make-up, clothes in drawers. Unbelievable! I can't wait for the kitchen cabinets! Lynne E.-Oxford, MA
I am so happy I chose to get in touch with Corrie. I had my dining table full of papers and when I say full, I mean full since January 2018. Due to a concussion, I couldn't concentrate and didn't know where to start/finish. Corrie came in and took over the situation. She's phenomenal!! She helped me during my weakest. Because of her, I am now eating as a family once again. Thank you so much for making my life simpler and to believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Brenda S.-Acushnet, MA
