About our presenter:
Marie has been sharing home organization skills for more than 20 years. In 1986, she began teaching an eight-week, sixteen-topic course at a local community center, which included classes on time management, food preparation, closet and cupboard organization, budgeting, teaching children to work, and shopping skills.
Marie’s classes have proven popular both in San Jose, California and Utah County, Utah, where she now lives. Marie continues to teach home organization classes and seminars at church, professional, and community gatherings. She also spends time coaching homemakers their own homes and helping them learn to be more organized. Marie has seen a lot of dirty laundry, cluttered closets, and untidy paperwork, all of which is very exciting to her.
Marie is a presenter at Brigham Young University’s Education Week. Her House of Order Handbook addresses the many facets of home management plus offers numerous worksheets to make running a home easier for any homemaker. Another book,
Project Organization, Quick and Easy Ways to Organize Your Life, was published by Deseret Book and is available in local bookstores. Marie’s latest project, Organize As You
Go, is being distributed nationally wherever fine book are sold. She also writes columns for several venues, has had her own radio show, and appears as a featured guest on TV and radio.
She has a large library of home management materials, endorses high quality housecleaning products, and shares a weekly email newsletter for interested women. Learn more or sign up at
