Aubrei grew up in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She is tri-lingual'ish (English, Spanish, French and some German) and has two Bachelor’s degrees. She has lived in four countries, and is finally settled in Athens, OH.  She has two children, an insanely compassionate husband, two spoiled cats and the cutest leopard gecko you've ever seen!

No matter where life took her, though, Aubrei always kept her finger on the field of Professional Organizing. Finally, back on U.S. soil, she launched herself as a Professional Organizer, founding Real World Organizing in December of 2011. She chose the name of her company because she was tired of living in a sea of unrealistic, unattainable ‘after’ photos. Aubrei prioritizes Executive Functioning, habit-forming and functionality over aesthetic, working with her clients first on understanding their thought processes and then on adjusting their spaces accordingly. 

​​​

In 2019, Aubrei became a Certified Professional Organizer, joining a select group of Professional Organizers around the world who ensure that they are giving their clients their absolute best in terms of competence, professional standards and ethics. She maintains her certification through continuing education in the field of Organizing.
 

In 2021, Aubrei became a Foundations graduate from the Coach Approach Certified Coach Training Program. This training provided Aubrei with even more tools to provide custom and even longer-lasting results to her clients, particularly those with ADHD. From this training, she discovered that she, herself, had ADHD and, thus, began to offer ADHD Coaching and Consulting services. Aubrei loves working with clients who are neurodivergent just like her, as learning about Aubrei's clients helps her learn about herself - or is it the other way around? :)
 

In 2023, Aubrei earned the CPO-CD certification through the Institute for Challenging Disorganization, thus establishing herself as a specialist in Chronic Disorganization.

​

Aubrei offers both on-site and virtual services. She is enormously proud of the amount of referral business she receives and is humbled by the raw honesty that her clients lay at her feet. 

Aubrei belongs to the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD) and Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD). She volunteers as much as possible for these associations. When not working, she enjoys reading, traveling and cheering her kids on in whatever they're up to.
