I believe that kindness is the essence of good manners and I love making the process of learning kindness fun and interactive. Whether a 4 year old is practicing choosing kind words or a high school graduate is preparing for the Debutante Ball, I can’t wait to practice kindness and social politeness with your children.

I bring my experience as a Cotillion Apprentice and a Shelby Debutante, as well as my training under Etiquette Expert, Amy Ranier, to offer etiquette on all levels and for all ages. My portfolio of courses spans across a wide array of etiquette topics, but the foundation of each class rests on the reality that words are powerful, gratitude is a must, confidence is a skill, and courtesy reveals character.

As I teach the proper fork to use there is also a constant introduction to the foundational skills of social awareness, respect and kindness. Developing confidence and character are social skills that all children need and learning the skills taught in each course will create connection through kindness. I have a deep passion for kindness and character and am honored to teach your children to extend poise at home, school, and beyond!

“I always remind my students that no matter which fork they use, if they are kind, they have good manners. My hope is that all of my students leave my class ready to pour out kindness and respect at all times, and with confidence to handle any social setting.”
