EVENTS CALENDAR

Team JMPO

The success of JMPO is based on a reliable team providing great services to our clients, every day.

​Meet the JMPO team!

Alisha’s background is in residential organizing. At JMPO, she enjoys preparing estates for auction. She’s passionate about helping others and working with clients to find personalized organizing solutions.

Alison is the veteran of 21 moves (Army brat) and knows a thing or two about packing, unpacking, and fitting into new spaces. For similar reasons, she is handy with a hammer, pliers, and screwdrivers. Unafraid of rats & spiders. Her life perspective is "It's all good." She considers herself an important member of Team JMPO because she is cheerful, diligent, and ethical.

Drorit is passionate about organizing and working with clients to find the best solution for their specific needs. In everything she does, Drorit is thoughtful and respectful. She lives a very healthy lifestyle and strives for excellence every day. Our clients delight in Drorit's warm smile and energetic support

Emily is skilled in working with chronically disorganized clients. She brings compassion and patience to each session. When not working, Emily fosters cats and loves to find new hikes anywhere in the Bay Area.

Jenn worked many years in the employment industry and learned that she enjoys helping others. At JMPO, she has the pleasure of getting to know our future clients and share how we can help them reach their goals. Jenn says she can relate to their frustration with clutter because she struggles with organization in her own home. You'll meet Jenn on the phone, at our marketing events and sometimes at the job site!

Jo Ann has been a professional organizer for three and a half years and is very experienced in residential organizing, packing and unpacking. She loves to help individuals and families create more space in their homes and help solve their organizing challenges.

Kary grew up in rural Upper Michigan where she developed her love of treasure hunting and nature. She has degrees in wildlife biology and education, and is a former teacher. Kary has also worked in the auction industry and owned her own online estate sale auction business. She is passionate about organizing, identifying vintage and antique trends and items, continuously learning and creating efficient processes. In her free time, Kary enjoys baking, reading and going on adventures with her husband, son and two dogs

Kathleen enjoys giving clients the greatest experience possible. She works quickly, thoroughly and has an eye for styling spaces too. It's easy to tell how much she likes her profession since her kindness and quality of work shine within each of her jobs.

Kimberly assists with our team scheduling, contract administration and other operational aspects of the company. She owns Amethyst Productivity, and is an exceptionally efficient and productive person. 

Louisa's motto is: I don’t mind getting dirty and I clean up well! An avid volunteer, Louisa works with child car seat fitting and was a lactation consultant. She brings a positive and optimistic attitude to every organizing session.

Tami Toomire has a background in office management and K-12 substitute teaching, so organizing people and documents are a natural fit for her! She volunteered her time for over a decade while also being a stay-at-home mom, and now enjoys spending time with her husband and adult children when schedules allow.

Amoreena brings her 20+ years of bookkeeping experience to assist with JMPO's back office tasks. She manages payroll, invoices and budgets. Amoreena is also a classically trained chef!

Shauna is passionate about eco-organizing, the responsible use and disposal of materials. In addition to working with some of our more complicated cases, Shauna is our advisor for all things green!

Meet Joan McCreary, CPO® and JMPO business owner

CPO® & Hoarding Specialist.
​
Operating in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2009!

​About Joan McCreary  
As a Certified Professional Organizer®, I share my knowledge and resources with you. My skills are influenced by life-long exposure to many industries and cultures and my natural inclination to investigate cluttered spaces and make sense out of them.

As a mother of two, I understand that life gets busy and everyone can use some help. As a business owner, I understand the juggle and sometime struggle of balancing career, home and family.

My history with organizing is long. When I was a child, I took it upon myself to clean out my mother's closets and cupboards. Since then, my skills have gone far beyond straightening drawers and storage areas. Clients rely on me for practical application of my education and experience in the Professional Organization industry.
