Resume

If you have come to my website, you want to know more about me than just what my resume holds. My work style is very formal and deliberate. I bring a highly meticulous and structured approach. Lazy speech, frumpy attire, and low-effort execution is not in my wheelhouse– I am highly driven and enthusiastic.

I am a southerner, born and raised in Georgia. I have lived abroad (in England and in Dubai) and traveled abroad extensively (throughout Europe). I am educated and well-read. Though I have only included in this resume relevant experience (featuring my expertise), I have diverse experience (from modeling to flight attending to operating room desk managing). I can do anything and everything, and I do. In my spare time (which I try to limit because I am hyper ambitious) I consult and train in etiquette (social and corporate), write children's manners books, and travel to/from MLS Next games (because my teen son plays in an MLS Next league). I came back home to Georgia in 2011 and live here with my husband and teen son.
