More About Dexterous Organizing…

Yes, it's true!

We put the pieces of your life together with organization...

Call us crazy, but we love to organize. Many of our team seem to just be born with the desire and ability to turn chaos into calm.  

​

We don't judge and we don't make you throw away anything you don't want to. We will patiently help you figure it all out (from a drawer to an attic, to an office supply room) with a layer of our expertise for design, systematizing, and organizing. During the process, you might even have fun with us!

​

We can't wait to help you as your home organizer, office organizer, or move management team.

We love providing these services to and working with…

Andrea I. Hancock

Founder & CEO

Andrea believes that an organized life can significantly decrease stress in an inevitably stressful life.  Born and raised in the Washington, DC Metro area, she graduated with a degree in accounting from the University of Maryland at College Park.  Andrea spent almost 15 years in fields of government HR, administration, and non-profit accounting. She uses her knowledge and experience to create processes and systems for her clients.

​

Since starting Dexterous Organizing in March of 2010, she loves assisting overwhelmed professionals, transitional and downsizing families to gain more control in their lives and manage less chaos in their homes and workspaces. An active member of NAPO (National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals), she works hands-on with her clients from strategy, implementation, and (for those who are open to creating positive change) organizing coaching.  

While professional organizing deals with the stuff, Andrea is a graduate of the foundation courses of Coach Approach for Organizers and uses organizing coaching as a tool to partner with her clients to dig a little deeper to clarify values and ‘what matters most’ in order to create a more balanced lifestyle.

​

When she’s not organizing herself or her clients, she’s in her volunteer ministry, reading and studying to improve her life (and a little for pleasure), traveling, enjoying new and favored delicious food and drink.  She also enjoys watching a good movie on the couch with her husband and Yorkie at home in Alexandria, near Huntley Meadows Park.

Chiree Danielle Wanzer

Sr. Team Lead

Danielle was born to organize! As long as she can remember, she’s been organizing things.  From crayons, school work, and toys to her clothing, she’s found organizing to be therapeutic and calming.  Her family has benefited as she’s been organizing for them since childhood.

Although Chiree (Shy-ree) is her first name, we at Dexterous Organizing introduce her to clients as Danielle, her middle name. She reached out for this opportunity with Dexterous Organizing in 2018 and happily joined the team to help bring her love of organizing and her skill set to making life better for our clients.

Camille Wilson

Sr. Team Lead

Camille joined the Dexterous Organizing team as an associate organizer in August 2018.  She loves using her gift for organizing to bring calm and joy to people’s spaces. Kitchens are her jam but bedrooms and offices are a close second.  Camille believes that a healthy dose of empathy, humor, and vision can make even the toughest of projects a sparkling success.

Originally from Seattle, Washington, Camille is a newcomer to the DMV area and spends her free time exploring the rich history of DC, trying new restaurants, sipping lattes, and perfecting her homemade pie recipe.

Yaritza Pacheo

Jr. Team Lead

Organizational skills have always been an aspect of Yaritza’s personal traits and utilized in larger workplace environments. Joining Dexterous Organizing is Yaritza’s first formal job organizing, and excited to use her natural skills to help everyday individuals. Yaritza has had various home office and art studio setups over the years and loves staging and organizing efficient workspaces.

​

When she is not creating art, Yaritza enjoys hockey, craft beer, and yoga. Often escaping in nature for hiking and meditation.

​

Jasmine joined the Dexterous Organizing Team in 2018 and when she has free time, she spends it with family and friends and volunteering.

Nancy Weissman

Team Lead

Before her retirement from being a clinical research coordinator, she continued to hone her organizational skills as the position required all the t’s to be crossed and i’s to be dotted as her work was reviewed by the FDA.

Now as a team member with Dexterous Organizing, she enjoys helping our clients get their spaces from cluttered to calm.  She makes great suggestions and puts her natural leaning toward organization to good use by helping them to transform their home into a haven.
