Erika Leigh Kruse, Esq.
is a practicing attorney, a law school professor, photographer, and former
pageant finalist. For over nine years, she has offered her expertise and
training on how to master the skills necessary to obtain the job you want, the
college you'd like to attend, and winning the pageant title of a lifetime. Her
background in education, combined with professional and pageant experience makes
the perfect combination for the highest quality personal instruction. She has
also served as a pageant competition judge,
including the Maine Junior Miss and Rhode Island Junior Miss Scholarship
Programs.
An expert at
interview techniques, pageant preparation, public speaking and image
consultation, Erika has developed a training program that yields proven results.
She offers personalized training on how to improve your
presentation and convey the most compelling message. Many coaches concentrate
purely on general concepts and theories, but Erika focuses on giving you hands-on, practical
knowledge combined with theory and technique that you can, and will, actually
use. Some other coaches may attempt to offer coaching over the phone or
with newsletters and gimmicks, but
it is impossible to offer comprehensive effective coaching just verbally or through the printed page.
Erika's coaching is complete and thorough; her guidance, observations and
analysis of the content along with delivery, demeanor, and appearance all
combine to make the difference between an acceptable interview and a fantastic
one! Moreover, unlike many other pageant coaches, Erika's experience
both as the daughter of a Miss America national finalist and as a former pageant finalist
herself, means she can counsel you on maintaining your
focus and confidence not only during the interview but during the
entire competition process.
Coaching clients of all
ages, and from across the country, her instruction and expertise is individually
tailored to each client and to each client’s personal goal. You may have the
ability, talent, appearance and intelligence, but whether you know how to
convey those qualities in the most effective and convincing way is what
really matters. There are some other consultants and coaches, but no one else
has the unparalleled combination of professional credentials, teaching ability, instruction skills and
personal experience that PageantPrep can offer you.
