Maria Wood-Smith, Owner
Program and Curriculum Director
Maria Wood-Smith founded the Fearless Focus Program (formerly Fashion Focus) 22 years ago with passion and determination to help children and teens feel empowered. Maria had her own personal struggles with self-confidence and took very specific steps to regain her inner-strength and self-esteem. Her personal confidence building steps are the foundation of the principles behind her very successful Fearless Focus Program curriculum. She works diligently to update her curriculum so it is relevant to the ever-changing times. Maria has three grown children of her own, Alexandra, Gabrielle, and Gregory, and currently resides in Hanover with her husband Michael.
Brit Lawrence
Marketing Director
Brittany Lawrence is a dedicated marketing professional currently serving as the marketing manager at a Florida-based telecom company as well as the marketing director for Fearless Focus. Starting her journey with Fearless Focus at age 13, she remained connected to the program even during her college years at NYU, guest-teaching classes intermittently. In late 2015, she returned full-time to contribute to teaching and marketing. Despite relocating to Florida, Brittany continues to manage the email marketing and social media advertising for Fearless Focus, a program that holds a special place in her heart. She credits Fearless Focus with significantly boosting her confidence, which empowered her to start her own business aimed at helping small businesses thrive online. Brittany attributes much of her success to the self-advocacy and ambition nurtured through Fearless Focus.
Isabella Keenan
Instructor
Isabella Keenan first became aware of the Fearless Focus Program when she was asked to take part in a student-planned fashion show in kindergarten. In elementary school, she went to summer camps and school vacation week camps. In middle school, she realized how much she loved the program and she started taking weekly classes. The program has helped Isabella gain confidence and become a mature young adult. Isabella is now so grateful to be able to instruct other students on important life skills including how to become more self-confident.
