About the Organizer
One Space at a Time is owned and managed by Kelli Kollross. Kelli is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) http://www.napo.net, as well as a member of NAPO San Diego. The one main goal of Kelli's career has been to organize and assist people in any way to make their life or business run more smoothly. As a Professional Organizer she is able to use all of her experience and her passion for organizing to continue this tradition. Kelli is originally from Littleton, Colorado. She resided in the San Diego area for over 10 years and has now decided to come back to her roots in Colorado. Kelli has always been organized and had a knack for organizing others. It all started at age 6 when she asked her grandfather if she could have his old briefcase that was divided into separate compartments just the size of a Barbie Doll. He was going to throw the briefcase away, but she saw it not as trash, but as a great way to organize her Barbie Collection! It may sound odd, but the thought of cleaning out a closet puts a smile on her face. She has taken her passion for organizing seriously and used it to help organize many people throughout her career. Kelli graduated from Metropolitan State University in Denver, CO where she obtained a Bachelors Degree in Sociology with an emphasis in Gerontology (the study of aging). Kelli served as Personal Assistant to the President of an Interior Design firm where she provided extensive home/business office administrative assistance as well as estate management and organization. Her role also included being a member of the model home installation crew where it was her job to purchase accessories to decorate, accessorize and stage entire model homes throughout the Western United States.
Kelli has many years of experience working as a nanny providing childcare and extensive in-home organization to children and their families in both Littleton, CO and Del Mar, CA. She also worked as an Administrative Assistant at Sunrise Assisted Living in La Jolla, CA where she provided administrative support to the Executive Director and served as liaison between management, residents, and the resident’s families. Her most recent position was that of Executive Assistant to the Chairman of a large local real estate development company based in Del Mar, CA. For six years Kelli managed various business entities and personal business transactions, completed all administrative duties, organized and maintained the home and business office, and ensured that the Chairman’s office and life in general ran smoothly each and every day.
While Kelli’s career has given her experience in many different areas it has ultimately led her to realize that what she really loves is helping people simplify their life so they worry less and enjoy life more.
