Samantha Smyth’s appreciation for etiquette began at age eight, when she first attended etiquette classes and participated in cotillion. During high school, she turned that early interest into an after-school job teaching cotillion in St. Petersburg, helping younger students build confidence and feel comfortable in social settings.

​

Through Refined Futures, Samantha brings that experience to a new generation. She believes etiquette is rooted in consideration for others and that learning to communicate, connect, and carry oneself with confidence creates opportunities at every stage of life.

​

Samantha holds degrees in Sociology and Political Science from Florida State University. A member of the Junior League since 2018, she has served in leadership positions that reflect her commitment to service and community involvement.

Married since 2015 and the mother of one daughter, Samantha brings a parent’s perspective to her work. Her goal is to help students develop the character, confidence, and practical skills to navigate new experiences with ease and treat others with respect.
