ABOUT US
As CEO and president of Elise Couture Etiquette Academy, what I love about teaching etiquette and manners is the transformation I see in my students. How a few simple principles can boost their confidence and open up new opportunities. I'm passionate about creating a positive impact by helping individuals navigate social and professional interactions with grace and authenticity.
What sets me apart from other etiquette programs, is my personalized approach and focus on real-life application.
I don't just teach rules; I tailor lessons to fit each person's
unique needs and goals, ensuring they not only learn but truly embody the skills that make a difference in their everyday lives.
My testimony and reason for starting the Academy was the need for a vehicle to build and/or restore the confidence
that had been destroyed or didn't exist in my life. I didn't
have confidence in who I was or what I could become. At
age 18, I was raped, full of fear and not sure of myself, I knew I had a purpose. Through faith in God and by his Grace, I
was delivered from all the fear and I began to dream again
in helping so many other children and adults. So then
Elise Couture Etiquette Academy was born.
As a devoted wife and mother, I enjoy being actively involved in my church and volunteering my service to various community organizations. I also enjoy reading, crafting, hosting afternoon tea parties, traveling and watching Hallmark movies. Traveling to Paris, France and having Tea in several Tea establishments is my dream trip and goal that I’m working on.
It’s my plan and goal to demonstrate that beauty begins on the inside and manifests on the outside. Through the principles of etiquette, we can establish a standard and vision in every child and adults mind that allows them to be poised for success.

FOUNDER'S BIO
I was born in St Louis, Missouri and raised in Southern California. I have always had an interest in fashion so after graduating high school; I attended the John Robert Powers School of modeling. I began my modeling career doing runway and print assignments. I then worked for several large name cosmetic manufactures such as Posner, Max Factor and Lancôme as a beauty consultant for a combined total of twenty-one years. From there, I became a licensed cosmetician. Later I created unique line of sachets. In less than two years, I was able to get my product into Nordstrom’s Department Stores for a total of 85 stores across the United States. I love sharing ideas and experiences to help, improve and inspire. That desire turned into a teaching position at Barbizon School of modeling where I held classes in makeup, skincare, wardrobe and walking on the runway. Fashion was still calling and I answered with the creation of Elise Couture Fashion Designs. Through the etiquette academy, I am attempting to demonstrate that beauty begins on the inside and manifests in multiple facets. I believe that together, through the principles of etiquette, we can establish a standard and vision in every young person and adult's that allows her to be poised for success. It is my sincere desire to be a blessing and an asset in the life of every person that we come in contact with.
