3 years later....

Yes! 3 years ago I opened my company! My idea was to start a professional organizing company and only focus on that; working with people to organize their personal space and business....hence the concept of keep it together; we don't just help you get it together, but teach you how to keep it together. For the first few years, I did just that. I rearranged, planned, and executed projects from small closets to a full house!






During the day I would teach, and at night and on weekends I would organize.

One day I was given the opportunity to speak to a group of teachers on organization...specifically how to organize their classroom for the first days of school. Thanks to the Dade Reading Council, my speaker series took off! I began to speak about topics such as organization of children, time management in the business world, and how to manage a busy family schedule.



October 2007, I bump into an old friend and sorority sister, Mayra Etayo, owner of Not Just Calligraphy. Mayra invites me to join her in the world of trade shows....after a phone meeting, Keep it Together teams up with NJC to host bridal shows in the South Florida area. At the same time a good friend, Yogi Misir, owner of Cape Cole, hires me to work with him and his clients with the planning of their corporate events.

November 2007, another old friend and sorority sister, Naomi Valle, asks me to coordinate her wedding. By this time, I was already researching event planning, and had begun to map out KIT's future to include events. I said YES! and from that day I bring you to today...

Currently, Keep it Together is a professional organizing and event planning company. Based out of Miami, Fl, I am now living out of Durham, NC.

With five weddings coming up in 2009, I have brought in an excellent, detailed, and creative person to work with me...Naomi!



Naomi and I have planned events together since 1998, when we met at Florida International University. Our love for events, and attention to the smallest detail is what makes us a fantastic duo. Individually, we each bring different views and experiences to each event.

As you can see, KIT has evolved in the past 3 years...with endless possibilities, who knows what will come next. All I know is that whatever comes will be shared with you here, so K.I.T. (keep in touch!)
