"After our first session together, I knew that I picked the right coach to prepare me for this title! You gave me a direct, tough-love approach with your feedback on how I performed at my previous pageant, and told me never to sell myself short on-paper or to others. Of all of the skills, tricks, and tips you taught me, that is the biggest lesson I took away from our time together. I will continue doing this throughout the next chapter of my pageant journey and in life!  You helped me rediscover what makes me unique and how I can offer my talents to the world. I never felt more confident or at-ease with myself before walking into an interview. With your guidance, you helped ensure I was 100% prepared for every aspect of competition. I cannot express enough gratitude for how thankful I am for all you have done for me! Thank you for everything!"

"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! :)"

"...This is the best coach in the WORLD!!! I went from 4RU last year to 1RU this year...all thanks to Erika and PageantPrep! You have an amazing gift that brings the best out of people and I am truly happy that we worked together. I felt completely confident going into interview and I have you to thank for that! Thanks again LOVE!"

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."

"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!!!

"From preparing me for my interview, to helping me with my walk, every aspect was appreciated more than words can say...When I first heard about you and how much a session was, I wasn't sure but now I know that what you give to your clients can't have a price on it, it's priceless...For the rest of my life I'll never forget what you taught me. You are by far the best coach a girl could have and I can't thank you enough!"

"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."
