Corrine Allard, owner of Cattail Pond, LLC helps people make their homes, lives and business work better by making them more efficient. Her management, technical and analytical experience coupled with home decorating and design talents provide the foundation for her work as a Professional Organizer (or is she an Efficiency Specialist?). Corrine believes organizing requires a skill set deeply rooted in problem solving and analysis - being able to see how something is today and how it could be made better. 

Although Cattail Pond, LLC started up in 2001, Corrine has been in business since 1996 when she started a basket party business while working full-time. Having left full-time  employment for the entrepreneurial life, Cattail Pond is developing into an outlet for her natural talent of identifying needs and creating functional and economical solutions. Corrine provides services to businesses as well as individuals and their homes. 

Her education includes a B.S. degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stout (magna cum laude - retail management and business) and a folder full of web design, software, quality, sales, testing, project management and other certificates. Some of her past job titles include:  Project Manager (information technology), Senior Business Analyst, Manager of Administrative Support, Quality and Reporting, Team Leader Corporate Surveys, Senior Research Analyst,  Marketing Project Analyst, Customer Service Representative, Assistant Buyer, Sales Area Manager, Inventory Controller, Space Planning and Display Consultant, Clerical and Secretary.  Whew! 

In her spare time, (what's that?), Corrine conducts workshops on organizing and time management and is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers.  Corrine lives in Franklin, WI, a suburb of Milwaukee, with her husband and  daughter.
