Born of an Australian mother that brought her English traditions into the home, Nan was literally raised with "tea as a second language." Since the early 90's, she has been involved in presenting, consulting, and teaching many types of tea events.

She is a speaker for churches, tea rooms, community organizations, women's events, mini seminars and a graduate of Proverbs 31 She Speaks conference. Nan is also the founder of Tea Graces and a member of the Royal Ladies Tea Society.

In spring of 2005 her book The Graceful Art of Tea was published. Because of its popularity, it has been revised and is now in its third printing. At this time, Nan is working on completing a children's early reader book, Dress Up and Tea Cups for Alli.

In fall of 2006 Nan felt the need for an instructional DVD for tea lovers. A Tea Time Tutorial is now available for your viewing pleasure.
