Founder and Professional Organizer, Golden West Organizing

As a professor with a Ph.D. in Communication, I have worked with thousands of students over the past decade. I am also a mom of two and know how challenging it is to maintain a home with kids. I understand the unique challenges of individuals from different cultures, backgrounds, and economic situations, and work to empower them with confidence in their own voice.

I apply that same nurturing guidance to home organization: I take a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach in understanding the needs of each of my clients, to help them become the best version of themselves through decluttering and organizing all the little things in life that can weigh us down!

I started my organizing business in January, 2021 under the name Organizing By Julia, and have since rebranded to Golden West Organizing ®. This new name is a tribute to my late grandfather, Jerry Golden, who was the very definition of an entrepreneur - from very humble beginnings, he founded a highly successful and influential mobile home company in 1965, Golden West Homes.
