About Me


I am the founder/owner of Apropos, an etiquette and protocol consulting firm. I started Apropos in June 2004 because I am an optimist that believes in continuously developing one's character and constantly building self esteem. This will make you the ultimate candidate for success in anything that you seek out to accomplish. (Note the quote in my headline.) I offer instruction in dining etiquette, social graces, business etiquette and entertaining, posture and poise, and many other areas of interest...
In addition to being an etiquette and protocol instructor, I am a family advocate and work for a model and talent agency.
I am all about encouraging young adults in my community to become more cultured, well, rounded, and educated. I strongly beleive that everyone is a role model and it's entirely up to you to decide whether or not you will be a positive one or not.
One of my favorite quotes is:
"Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek and develop the picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination."
-Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


I'm interested in meeting individuals, organizations and businesses that are taking a serious approach to investing in the growth of their organizations, as I am determined to help meet professional and personal goals.
In addition, I would love to partner with organizations that have specialized youth programs. I would be more than happy to come and speak to your group or organization, so please contact me and we will work something out!

My Blog

An intervention? What the..??
