About Dr. Marie F. Jones

Marie F. Jones portrait

Hello! I'm Marie, the Messy behind the desk at Messy Desk Consulting. My desk is getting tidier these days, as I narrow my focus to writing, consulting, and teaching/training in libraries and other nonprofit organizations.

​

My expertise:

  • Leadership & Organizational Development

  • Motivation & Culture

  • Workflow & Organization

  • Assessment

  • Content Creation

​

With degrees in leadership, education, librarianship, and English, I have been teaching, writing, and leading for decades. At Messy Desk, I draw on my skills and signature strengths to help a variety of clients find their own paths to success. 

​

What does success look like for you?

Let me help you get there!
