Why Crowns and Kisses?
Former International Vice President of Recruitment
Serving as the Former International Vice President of Recruitment for a national and international pageant system has been instrumental in shaping my expertise as a pageant coach. This role provided me with a global perspective on industry trends, contestant expectations, and the level of preparation required to succeed at both national and international levels.
I gained firsthand experience in evaluating potential titleholders, understanding what directors and judges seek in a winner, and identifying the qualities that set contestants apart in highly competitive divisions.
Additionally, working behind the scenes allowed me to build strong relationships with industry professionals, judges, and sponsors, giving me unique insight into the evolving standards of pageantry. My recruitment experience taught me how to strategically position contestants for success, refine their branding, and enhance their stage presence, interview skills, and overall marketability. As a coach, I now leverage this knowledge to help my clients develop into well-rounded, confident competitors who can navigate the pageant system with poise, strategy, and purpose.
Multi Titleholder
I am a former multi-titleholder with firsthand experience of what it takes to win and succeed in pageantry. Having held multiple titles across different systems, I understand the nuances of diverse competition styles, judging criteria, and what sets a winning contestant apart. My personal journey has equipped me with insider knowledge, allowing me to coach from a place of experience, strategy, and results-driven preparation. I know what it feels like to stand on that stage, handle nerves, answer tough interview questions, and perfect every detail—from wardrobe to walk.
Queens are Born
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to customize each contestant’s journey, identifying their unique strengths, brand, and voice to create a standout presence on stage and in interviews. My clients don’t just learn how to walk and talk—they develop confidence, poise, and a winning mindset that extends beyond pageantry. Plus, my extensive network in the industry gives my clients an edge, providing insider tips, exposure, and opportunities they wouldn’t get elsewhere.
More than just a coach, I’m a mentor, strategist, and hype-woman (ask my CK Girls) who invests in each client’s success. We laugh, cry, and bond under the sparkle of a crown.
Coach Mentor
As a Coach Mentor for Pageant Planet, I had the privilege of guiding aspiring titleholders through one of the most respected online pageant coaching platforms. Over the course of three years, I worked with contestants of all ages. I conducted hourly interview coaching sessions with different contestants, 2-3 times a week.
My primary focus was preparing contestants for the interview portion of their pageants, helping them refine their communication skills, articulate their platforms, and exude confidence under pressure.
One of the aspects I loved most about my role with Pageant Planet was how it served as a gateway for contestants to continue their coaching journey with me through my pageant consulting company, Crowns and Kisses, if they desired more personalized and comprehensive coaching. My time with Pageant Planet allowed me to impact a diverse range of contestants, equipping them with the tools they needed to stand out in competition and feel empowered on and off the stage.
