To put it simply, You are the
best. Words can not describe the emotions going through my mind when I
was crowned. I knew I was brought there because of the person who you
brought out of me. You built me up to my highest potential and truly
encouraged me to be all that I can be. I will take what you taught me
into the future. You gave me all of your effort, support, and love and
it is greatly appreciated. I look forward to working with you through
out the year. Our sessions are always informational and helpful, yet
your personality keeps it exciting! Your spirit keeps me confident and
you're a genuine, beautiful person inside and out. Thank you so much!
I would not be the person I am today without your help. I owe it to
you!"

I want to thank you a million times and again for your hard work, your
time, love, and support. You were not only a coach, but a friend as
well. I have learned so much about myself and have grown from what you
have taught me in the limited hours we had. ... You're an amazing
person and I was very fortunate to have you as my coach. Thank you for
sharing your skills and knowledge. I got as far as I did because of
everything you taught me and I can definitely carry that through in
the future. My family and friends are so proud and I hope you are as
well." |

I know exactly who I need to turn to for preparation." |

""PageantPrep is by
far the best program I have ever used to prepare for a pageant. I used
to go into interviews hoping they would ask me what I wanted them to
ask me. Now, I go into interviews with a plan. This isn't just Pageant
Prep... this is Life Prep. These are tools that you will use for the
rest of your life. I cannot recommend Erika Kruse enough! :)"

Danielle Lacourse
2007 Miss USA, 1st Runner Up
2007 Miss Rhode Island USA, Winner
"Erika worked with Danielle at the
state pageant and because Danielle had zero pageant and modeling
experience, made the difference in the fact that she won...As for the
national pageant Erika met with Danielle 3 times a week and was
instrumental in her preparation. Erika also traveled to LA to meet
with Danielle at the pageant...There are few coaches in the New
England area who have achieved a level of success. Danielle was very
fortunate to have access to Erika who is bright, intelligent,
experienced and more than competent. The nice part about Erika is that
she grew up in a pageant environment ...When you speak with Erika she
has a love of pageants and this passion translates into her excitement
for coaching...I would without hesitation recommend Erika for pageant
preparation."..."Had
Danielle not been coached by PageantPrep she would not have won the
state title and would never have found the success she enjoyed at the
Miss USA Pageant."
"...[Danielle] felt that your help was instrumental in her ability
to anticipate questions, formulate an intelligent response, and
properly articulate her verbal response. Your accommodation of
Danielle as a last minute understudy set in motion a chain of events
that will positively change her life. She often said that she loved
working with you....on behalf of our family and her friends you were
the one who made the difference in Danielle's life. For your
professional help and the hand that you extended as a friend we all
thank you."

Natascha Saunders
2006-2007 Miss Black Rhode Island, Winner
"Not only
did Ms. Erika help me prepare for nationals but she instilled in me a new
level of confidence. I left for nationals more confident than I'd ever been
in my life. I have been very blessed to have her as a part of my life. I
have used the tools she's given me to also excel within my career and
academics. My new confidence level enabled me to graduate in the top 10% of
my MBA program. I was then awarded a full-academic scholarship from the Miss
Black USA Scholarship and had the confidence to apply and gain acceptance
into a Ph.D. program. Ms. Erika is more than a coach, she is a mentor, a
role model and she causes us, as young women, to want to be distinguishable
ladies. I know I am where I am today because she believed in me. She is
truly the best!!!

"You gave me the self-confidence that I had
been lacking, and you helped me to take a look at myself from a different
perspective - one that allowed me to present myself in interview...I only wish
that I had started working with you earlier. Your thorough,
professional and marketing-inspired approach to coaching really brought out the
best in me and made me feel prepared and like I had a solid plan. Anyone
who says you can't prep for interview is proven wrong by you...It's very clear
that you do this work because you genuinely care about your clients and how they
feel during the entire process. Thank you for being such a wonderful
coach- in the true sense of the word." |

Joseph Trillo,
Former CEO and Executive Director, Miss America State Preliminary Pageant |

"I've seen so many contestants
who thought they could win on their own but didn't. They didn't
put their absolute best forward in every aspect of competition
because they didn't know how to present themselves to the judges. With
Erika's unique professional, teaching and pageant background, you get
experience, top-level expert preparation, and an outstanding instructor.
She's the only one I'd
recommend." |
