Hi, I’m Lauren Halagarda, a professional organizer who is currently re-organizing my business over at Homeology.co. My site is a resource for modern, multi-passionate women to find ideas, tools, and action plans for creating a comfortably organized life and home. I’m wife to a Sports Dietitian and mom to a sweet and active little boy. I’m an analyzer and organizer who loves helping others be more efficient and use technology to enhance their lives. I’m not what most would consider a “Type A” organizer and I don’t believe in organizing just for the sake of organizing. I love when things look pretty but more so when they function well…and there is no such thing as perfectly organized. We’ve moved often so I have had plenty of practice re-organizing my own home. We currently hail from coastal North Carolina and love living the coastal lifestyle. I’m thrilled to be the new tech translator and join the team at simplify 101!

  • I can hardly believe that there was once a world with no Starbucks.

Nancy Vorsanger Professional Organizer

Hi, I’m Nancy Vorsanger. I truly enjoy organizing—in fact, I’m in the process of launching my own organizing business. Organizing my own home has brought me peace of mind and given me more time for the people and things I love. My goal is to help others see the same benefits. To me, a disorganized space is a problem waiting to be solved. I love the challenge of finding a solution! I’m a veteran of many classes at simplify 101. I also love to read about organizing and discuss it, so I’ve been active in the community forum. I’ve always enjoyed exchanging ideas and advice with other participants, so I’m thrilled to be playing a more formal role. Before deciding to become an organizer, I worked as a writer and editor, mostly in the nonprofit sector. I live in New Jersey with my husband and children.

Jennifer McClure

I’m Jennifer McClure, the former marketing + content coordinator for simplify 101. I’m also a wife and a mother of two gorgeous girls, striving to stay on top of it all and enjoy all that I am blessed with! Some days I’ve got a good groove…everyone gets where they need to be on time and we even come home to a clean house! Other days I am a total mess of a mom…completely forgetting to send in the green jelly beans and sign the proper form. But most of the time, I am somewhere in the middle. I love finding new ways to bring order to what can be a pretty chaotic life and have enjoyed blogging about what works for me.
