I have a bachelor’s degree in Communications and two adult children of my own. I’ve enjoyed working with kids most of my adult life, whether in the classroom as Room Mom, PTA board member running programs for the kids, as a Scout Leader or as a Team Mom. Now that mine are grown, I’m excited to join the team at The Etiquette Factory. We define manners as helping those around you feel valued. It’s my goal to help each child gain the self-confidence to navigate life in a meaningful way that includes showing respect for themselves and others and developing meaningful friendships.
