Etiquette expert and author

Mariah G. Humbert is a New York City–based etiquette expert and author leading a new era of modern etiquette.

After leaving the corporate fashion world in 2021, Mariah built a business dedicated to helping individuals and organizations present themselves with clarity, polish, and presence. Through bespoke consultations, trainings, and keynote speaking, she helps clients navigate everything from high-stakes professional scenarios to meaningful social moments with ease, emotional intelligence, and intention. Her clients span industries including high jewelry, finance, real estate, hospitality, entertainment, technology, and education.
