Over the past decade, I have made lasting friends and memories by participating and directing pageants. Contratry to popular belief of "pageants", my experiences have taught me many skills, tips, and tricks in addition to just "looking the part" that have become some of my best attributes of who I am today.  I have spent much of my time researching the do's and don'ts of pageants and how the pageant systems differentiate themselves.  This has led me to become a coach to many who are competing in pageants.

These experiences from being a title holder have allowed me to acheive personal growth and has provided me much success in my professional career that many of my colleagues and peers do not have.  I attribute much of my diligence, humility, demeanor, and faith to my life experiences both good and bad that I know we can all attest to.  My years spent as a competitive Irish Dancer, a News Anchor/Reporter/Intern with WWIR News and WGN-TV 9,  an Advertising Rep. with the Chicago Sun-Times, and as Medical Sales Rep. have helped develop my professional career.  What I have learned as a performer and a public speaker about mass communication and non-verbal communication is what I share with the ones I coach.
