A Bit About Jessica

Inviting someone into your home (and mess) can feel daunting. Rest assured, I bring a judgment-free approach to transform your home into a place that loves you back.

Tidy Beginnings

Growing up in Southern California, my love for Mary Poppins began at a young age. Even as a child, I found joy in bringing order to spaces—singing Disney tunes and testing the “flying” power of any umbrella I came across.

Educational Explorations

I studied marine conservation and GIS (Geospatial Information Systems), where I discovered my love of patterns and structure. Turning complexity into clarity came naturally and later became my organizing philosophy: every space, like every dataset, reveals meaning when brought into order.

Professional Path

My GIS and cartography career centered on humanitarian and emergency aid—using maps and data to communicate global health efforts. Through that work, I learned how structure brings clarity, purpose, and calm—principles that now shape every organizing journey I lead.

Inspired by Mary Poppins, Marie Kondo, and preparedness, I founded The Preparista to blend magic with method. In my practice, I help clients transform their spaces, and their lives, through joyful tidying that sparks calm, confidence, and clarity.
