Hi, I'm Mary 👋

I'm a friendship educator with a degree in interpersonal communication and over 20 years of professional experience. You might know me from social media, where I share daily tips on socializing and answer friendship-related questions for an audience of more than 200,000 followers. My mission is simple: to help people improve their social skills, make friends, and build community, so you can feel connected with others. My work distills insights from sociology and psychology journals into straightforward, actionable steps — enabling you to cultivate the strong, close friendships you’ve been wishing for. Because life is better when you don’t have to do it alone.
