Roxy
Roxy is the owner of Positively Organized and has been a professional organizer in Southwest Florida since 2001. She was one of the first in the nation to become a Certified Professional Organizer, or CPO. Roxy’s understanding of the organizing profession began when she organized her third-grade teacher’s desk. Within a week it was cluttered again. Even at that young age she realized she could organize “for” someone, but unless the person was involved in the process and an active participant in changing old habits, she was not truly helping that person. |

Roxy's formal education includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Relations from the University of Florida, a Master's of Science degree in Strategic Communication from Purdue University, an Editing & Proofreading certification from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Certification from the Board of Certification for Professional Organizers.
Roxy served as an Administrative Officer in the United States Air Force after college where she honed her time management and organizational skills. After nine years in the military, Roxy became a freelance proofreader correcting textbooks for Harvard University Press which required incredible attention to detail. She brings this discipline to every job she undertakes as a Certified Professional Organizer. Missing her military service, Roxy joined the Air Force Reserve in 2010 and retired in 2021 after 20 years of military service as a Reserve Officer and Chief of Military Personnel at Homestead Air Reserve Base.
Roxy lives in Fort Myers with Paul, her husband of 35 years. They have two children, Deanna, a software engineer for Lockheed Martin, and Benjamin, a Certified Flight Instructor at the Flying Academy of Miami. She is an active volunteer in the community with such commitments as Girl Scout Troop Leader, on the Board of Governors for the Southwest Florida National League of Junior Cotillions, and the NAPO Ambassador for the state of Florida. She also is a member of the Lee County Hoarding Task Force and ran a twice-monthly Hoarding Support Group. She is a member of Mensa and plays tennis whenever she can.

Amanda
Amanda is our Senior Residential Organizer and Closet Specialist. Amanda knew she had a gift for organizing when she visited a friend who had moved into a new house two years earlier but still had unpacked boxes in every room. Amanda’s friend was overwhelmed and did not know where to begin. But with Amanda’s help, one box at a time, one room at a time, the house could finally be called a home. This experience helped Amanda realize the joy in creating a functional space for all her clients.
Amanda is a University of North Alabama graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Human Environmental Sciences. She worked in volunteer management for a girl's youth non-profit organization for eight years. Working with volunteers helped Amanda hone her ability to work with clients, get them on board, and teach them organizing principles.
Amanda loves a closet challenge and takes pleasure in seeing her clients enjoy the end result. One client shared, “After Amanda left, I ate dinner in my newly-organized master closet. This was the first time I could walk in my closet and I just sat in there for hours reading a book, eating dinner, and enjoying my space.”
Amanda lives in Fort Myers with Michael, her husband of 20 years. They enjoy traveling, playing tennis, and most of all, spending time with their two sons and one daughter.
Amanda also enjoys yoga to relax and maintain balance in her life. She believes you cannot truly be happy unless your space is clutter free, allowing you to be “Positively Organized.” She works exclusively with residential clients.

Yoli
Yoli is a Residential Organizer and Closet Specialist. She believes that your space does not have to be “model-home perfect” but that what is most important is that it works for you and that you find peace in your environment, surrounded by objects that have special meaning to you. She enjoys putting systems in place that fit her clients’ needs, capabilities, and expectations.
Yoli's formal education includes a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and Recreation from the University of Florida and four years service as a Public Distribution Specialist in the United States Air Force. After her service in the military, Yoli worked for 15 years as a Quality Assurance Officer for a large insurance company.
Yoli became interested in organizing during her time in the Air Force. She learned that everything in the military has a system and even a young recruit could function exceptionally in such a well-organized environment. The Air Force taught her that when a system is in place, organization can be easy and painless. She enjoys putting systems in place for others and molding these systems to fit her clients' needs, capabilities, and expectations.
Yoli lives in Fort Myers with Gary, her husband of 22 years. They have four adult children. She is an avid reader and runner, having completed the Miami Marathon and countless half marathons.
