Testimonials:
Erika Porras – Miss National American
Miss Preteen 2010 “Liz, there are three words I can use to
describe you to others: Awesome, Unique and the Best!!! Thanks to
your unique coaching style, I left for California feeling very
confident. You believed in me and I was confident I was prepared from
the minute I walked into registration to the pageant finale. My
application reflected who I am and I was thrilled to also win Best
Resume! My goal was to make it to the Top 10. My mom could not believe
how calm I was at Nationals. I really enjoyed the pageant week. I was
very confident in all my competitions. I never felt nervous or
unprepared.
Our ‘extra’ telephone conversations prior to my interview lifted my
spirits. I was able to demonstrate my poise and most importantly -
demonstrate to the judges my humble personality, my passion for
community service and my intelligence in answering all the questions.
You really instilled in me that "the future belongs to those who believe
in the beauty of their dreams". I believed in my dream because you
helped me gain my self confidence.
I was very excited when I was called to the Top 5. This was the moment
when your training and all your tips about personal introduction, poise
and personality was put into practice. YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I spoke from
the heart - confident of my personal introduction - thanks to your
crafting of my personal introduction that truly demonstrated to the
judges who I was. You taught me the skills to deliver my personal
introduction without sounding like a robot.
Liz, I will never forget you and your
words of wisdom and encouragement in my pursuit for the National crown;
I am young in age, but I have big dreams. I thank you for the amazing
year I will be experiencing with this National Title. This is the
beginning of a new chapter in my life. You are unique and took the time
to really make me shine at Nationals!!! I highly recommend you as the
Best National Pageant Coach!!!!! You will be my pageant coach for ver!!!
Thanks again for making my dream become a reality! I will always Love
You!!!!!”
Adina Triolo – Miss National All-American Preteen 2010, Miss US of
America Preteen 2009 “Liz, thank you so much!! I am extremely
appreciative of your help. Ever since I began working with you, my
friends and family have noticed a big change of maturity in me, and so
have I. From your help, I have gained a lot of confidence in myself. My
family and I have noticed I am more able to approach new people and it
is a lot easier for me to make new friends!! Since I started working
with you, I have placed in the Top 5 in every pageant I have
participated in. I really appreciate the time and effort you took to
work with me. Thanks so much! You are the BEST!”
Rosanna Tran - Mother of
Elizabeth Tran, Miss American Coed Victory Junior Teen 2010
“I am not a pageant mom but Mrs. McGlynn is definitely a pageant
coach. Actually, I would call her a “professional” pageant coach. As a
mother of four, it is always difficult for me to take my daughter to a
pageant coach or anywhere to have lessons. However, Mrs. McGlynn has
been able to coach my daughter Elizabeth through e-mail and phone and
totally prepared her for her pageant. Moreover, Mrs. McGlynn has helped
to make my daughter’s pageant experience very positive and educational.
I am sure what my daughter learned from Mrs. McGlynn is more than just
pageant preparation tips; it is a good lesson to prepare her for school,
for college and for life.”
Samantha Rizzuto -
Miss Preteen National Sweetheart 2010 “Liz, there is something
special about feeling welcomed at a kitchen table, and Liz your kitchen
table has that “special something.” From my very first visit I felt very
comfortable with you. You helped me feel relaxed during an interview and
with speaking to adults. You placed a “Little Liz” on my shoulder, who
coaches me when you are not there. You convinced me I really do have
interesting things to say and through my experience with you, I have
grown confident saying them. You have helped me from the application
process to the clothes selection. Your last minute phone calls and your
survival list are priceless. You ‘walked’ me until the judges were blue
in the face. “Ha, ha!” You prepared me for challenging yet fun
competitions. Most of all, you made me feel prepared to do my personal
best.
I thank you for your part
in my journey to the crown; and I look forward to continuing our journey
wherever it may lead us….I have many pageant years ahead of me. So, I
thank you for the amazing year I am experiencing. It all started with
my mom’s phone call to you. - I could not have done this without all of
your help and preparation this year and last is what made this possible
for me. You really do amazing things. Thanks
again Liz!!!!”
Melissa Hoffman - Miss
National Sweetheart 2010 “Thank you so much! All of the work and
dedication you put in for preparing me for both states and nationals is
truly invaluable! I have never felt so prepared for any pageant in my
whole entire life! Your guidance, kindness, and selflessness are a true
testament to the many winners and finalists you have had over such an
amazing pageant coaching lifetime. I could never say it enough but THANK
YOU!”
Bridget Cleary - Ms.
America 2009-10“As an ‘older’ contestant with NO experience, my
chances of winning the national title of Ms. America were slim to none.
But, I DID win the crown, and I can thank Liz for teaching me - from the
very beginning - on what pageantry is all about!! I chose Liz as a
coach because of her background and the success stories on her website
and as soon as we talked over the phone I knew she was professional,
knowledgeable and serious about helping me navigate the pageantry world
with class. At our in person session, she guided me through the ins and
outs of the what would be expected of me (walking, interview,
application, etc) in a clear way, while showing me tips and techniques
that helped me stand out among a crowd of very talented women. She was
diligent in getting materials to me with quick turnaround and offered
her help at every step of the way. Liz clearly knows what it takes to
win, but she also knows how it feels to be a competitor and takes time
to soothe your nerves, offer support and give advice that not only
relates to pageants but real life too! I don’t know what I would have
done without her assurance, tricks of the trade or constant
cheerleading…but I do know that I couldn’t have won the title without
her! Thank you again for your help, support and guidance through all of
this - it has been an amazing experience and I can’t wait for the next
chapter!”
Katarina Kneer - Miss
New Jersey International Junior Miss Teen 2010 “As the youngest one
in the Teen division – I was nervous!!! Thank you once again for all
your guidance and amazing words of confidence! Liz, you are the bomb!”
Gail Donato – Mother of
Allison Donato – Miss Florida National Teenager 2009, 4th
Runner up, Miss National Teenager 2010 “Liz, I can't tell you how
much we appreciate your help! Allison and I both feel so much more
relaxed about our paperwork. And thank you so much for your interview
help. You really, truly focused on her and her strengths, and we can't
thank you enough. The interview prep sheet and practice questions are
wonderful tools. Thank you so much again.”
Esther Goya – Mother of
Alyssa Goya – Miss Arizona Junior National Teenager 2009, 4th
RU Miss Junior National Teenager 2010“Alyssa is really ecstatic
about how she did- and so are we! We know it is a huge achievement to
make top 5 at nationals, and I don't think Alyssa has a single regret.
She did work very hard preparing for all phases of competition- and she
could never had gotten this far without your guidance. You are such a
pro at what you do- and it was truly a lot of fun going back and forth
with the LOL and changing Alyssa's jeans three times! We really couldn't
have been happier with the whole process of working with you! We
sincerely hope to meet you sometime and hopefully work with you again!
Thank you so much Liz for the time, energy and expertise you put into
assisting Alyssa as she prepared for the America's Junior National
Teenager competition. Alyssa was thrilled to finish as 4th Runner Up!
Since her only experience in pageantry was as a state titleholder in
another system six years ago, preparing for nationals would have been
even more daunting without your guidance. Though we never met in person,
you were able to pinpoint Alyssa's strengths and weaknesses. No
question we had was too trivial and you always responded promptly and
gave us honest feedback. Thank you for your professionalism and your
attention to detail.”
Andrea Loberg – Miss
Mississippi National Miss 2009, 4th RU Miss National Miss
2010 “Liz, I just wanted to write you and say that you have made
such an impact on me. Working with you was a wonderful experience and I
have grown tremendously from it. I feel that you prepared me for many
pageants and jobs to come. I loved talking to you about our experiences
teaching in the elementary schools. We shared a lot of laughs! This
summer was unforgettable. I made so many friends and had one of the
best times of my life at the pageant. I know I couldn't have done any
of it without you. You truly gave me the confidence I needed
(especially right before I went in for the interview). At first I was
scared to go to a huge national pageant but after talking to you on the
phone I felt ready. I still can't believe I got in the top 5! Every
time that we talked you were so nice and made me feel so good about
myself - you made me feel that I was exactly what the judges were
looking for. I feel really proud of my accomplishment and I know I did
my best. Thank you so much for all your hard work! It means more than
you'll ever know. Thanks again for everything!!!”
Jennifer Gilbert -
Miss Virginia ANTSO National Miss 2009“Liz, I just wanted to thank
you for everything you have done for me. I know my goal was to make the
Top 8, but I can honestly say that regardless of my placement, this has
been my best nationals ever and that I have absolutely no regrets. The
amount of self confidence that I gained from meeting with you is
absolutely remarkable -- even my director commented on it! I really feel
I have made a transformation, and at the end of the day, it doesn't
matter whether I finished first or last (or somewhere in between),
because the confidence that I have gained from working with you has
literally changed my life. I am secure in who I am, and I know that what
I have gained will benefit me in other areas of my life as well. Thank
you again for everything, I really appreciate it.”
Jenifer Maloney
– Miss Massachusetts National Miss 2009“Liz, you have to be one
of the kindest, most generous, most amazing women I have ever had the
privilege of meeting! Thank you so much for the kind words, and the
inspirational and motivational 'pep-talks' that you were always so
willing to give. My experience at the National level wouldn't have been
1/10 as rewarding if I had not met you! Through your guidance and
coaching, I've become more in tune with just who I am, my opinions on a
variety of topics, and not to mention, my confidence and belief in
myself has skyrocketed! You are an amazing woman, and I thank you from
the very bottom of my heart for all the hard work, compassion
and kindness you've poured into my Nationals preparation. Although I
wasn't a finalist, I have become more well-rounded, more outgoing, and
have truly grown to know just who I am! You are truly one-of-a-kind! I
can't wait to work with you again in the future! And you can be sure
that I will have nothing but the kindest things to say about you to just
about ANYONE who will listen!!!”
Melissa Weber –

brilliant. Thank you so much for all you hard work.” On interview help -

Meagan Corlin –
Miss ANTSO National Miss 2009: “Liz McGlynn is a remarkable
individual, and an incredible pageant coach. In 2001, my first year
competing in the senior division at America's National Teen-Ager
Scholarship Organization, I represented my home state as an at-large
contestant without a director and no prior experience with ANTSO. I
arrived at nationals completely prepared for success after my sessions
with Liz, and went on to win the national title! Liz helped me every
step of the way and it was her little details that developed my
confidence and courage. Over the years, I was honored to receive many
accolades in the America system, winning over $30,000.00 in scholarship
and winning the MAO Community Service, Don C. Anderson Platform Award
and non-finalist interview award three years in a row.
It's clear
how much Liz's training has directly impacted my success. In all the
years I've known her, Liz has always been a phone call or email away and
I trust her advice implicitly. This is because she has never asked me to
be someone I'm not. She has instead helped me to grow into the most
well-rounded, confident contestant I can be and that ultimately led to
not only one, but two national titles! In 2008, I returned to ANTSO to
compete in their first-ever ANTSO National Miss Pageant as an at-large
contestant and, against all odds, took home my second national title!
Liz has
certainly prepared me to win competitions, but she most importantly
prepared me to be a compassionate, goal-oriented and intelligent girl
who never lost sight of the real victory: knowing you have done all you
can, and then enjoying the ride, whatever the outcome of the
competition! My successes speak for Liz's skills and talent, but it is
in my character that her professionalism and friendship are reflected.
Thank you Liz for believing in me, making me laugh 'til it hurts,
teaching me eloquence and always affirming that nothing is more valuable
than your integrity...well, and a sense of humor!! :-) Liz rocks!”
Nicole Renard – National All-American Miss Pre-Teen 2009: “Liz,
thank you so much for everything. I never could have accomplished so
many things without you. When I was introduced to you 2 years ago, I
never dreamed that I would have the title of National All American Miss
Pre-Teen. Wow! A small town girl from Kennewick, Washington - now a
national title holder! I still can’t believe it. Even though we have
never met in person, I consider you one of my best friends. Thank you
for always encouraging me and believing in me. All of your help with
interview and my Personal Introduction were amazing. It made all of the
difference in the world during pageant week. I was very confident in all
phases of the competition. You have helped me accomplish things I
thought would never be possible. Thanks again!”
Riana Cerceo – Miss Junior National Teenager 2009: “Dear Elizabeth,
Thank you for everything!!! There’s no way I could have presented myself
in a more professional way without your help. With the little time I had
to prepare for the national pageant, you worked with me as much as
possible to keep me on my toes for the interview. Your assistance in
preparing my application was invaluable. I can’t express enough
gratitude to you for how confident and pumped up you got me for the
pageant. Thanks again for helping me reach my goal of becoming Miss Jr.
National Teenager 2009!! Much love, Riana”
Sandra (Sam) Rucki
- Ms. Classic American Coed 2009:
“Now that things
are slowing down with the holidays I can give you the much needed THANK
YOU! I don't know where to start! I came to you with my girls with
dreams that you have made come true! Sami with the American Coed Miss
Preteen MN 2008 title, Gianna with the Miss Lakeville 2008 title and Nia
who will be competing in American Coed, and me a mother of 5 - I
never thought in a million years that a woman of my age and no
experience could ever complete in a State and National of a Mrs.
Title and WIN both! (OK I was tough, but your support was over and
above, now - if you could only help me with the boys in hockey…) How can
I ever Thank you for making all our dreams come true! Our weekend with
you was wonderful. You made it a time we all will never forget! I can’t
thank you enough for your honesty, patience, integrity and most of all -
you really care and love each and every one of us, and want us to do our
best! I know its been 2 years now that we've been coming to you but as
the girls are getting older you are preparing them for each age bracket
accordingly, and I hope you will continue down this journey with us
because not only do we hope to have you as our coach, but you have
become a dear friend to our whole family. Liz, you truly mean a
lot to us - thank you for all your support. Love, the Rucki girls”
Kendal Wipff – Miss Massachusetts Junior
National Teenager 2008 – 4th RU at Miss Junior National
Teenager 2009: “Liz,
First of all THANK YOU SO much for everything you've done to prepare me
for States and Nationals. You put so much effort into preparing me in
every aspect, and with my application. I've come a long way from LAST
place at states one year to Top 5 at Nationals the next! You gave me the
extra boost of confidence I needed to succeed, and I accomplished even
more than I set out to do. I could never have accomplished this much
without your help! Thank you!”
Ava Tortorici –
Top 15 National
American Coed Sweetheart 2009,
2008 Little Miss New
Jersey Star; 2007
National American Miss NJ Princess; Top 10 Finalist at Nationals (From
Mary Saint-Pierre, Ava’s mother): “Liz, thank you so much for all of
your advice, training and positive thoughts. Ava is already an amazing
girl but you helped put everything into perspective in a professional,
positive way and you brought out the best in Ava encouraging her to just
‘be herself’ and be “natural” while implementing top notch techniques
and gaining confidence. Thank you for all of the materials you supplied
to us – we will be using them and referring to them in the years to
come. The materials you supplied to us alone are priceless. After
meeting you, Ava won the title of “Little Miss New Jersey Star 2008”.
She is so excited! I can’t thank you enough for all of your love and
support and your continued commitment to Ava in helping her achieve her
pageant goals. Your coaching goes well beyond the day of the class. You
are always available on a moments notice by telephone or e-mail for
encouragement and congratulations. You are a great coach and I fell we
have gained a friend in the process. As you know we have another pageant
coming up and Ava is ready to go and very excited. Your preparation has
instilled a new level of confidence in her. We can’t wait to see you
again next spring for another session before the Miss New Jersey
pageant! Please fell free to use me as a reference for anyone inquiring
bout your services. You’re the best!”
Sasha Almeida-Beers – Miss National Teenager 2007:
“Liz there isn't enough I can say about you, and I am grateful to have
met you! I can't say thank you enough for how kind and wonderful you
have been to me!"
"It's hard to put into words the influence that Liz has had on my
success in my winning Miss National Teenager 2007. Liz has mastered the
ability to give you incredible paperwork that is still true to who you
are. She polished up my interview skills by making me realize I need to
be who I am while enjoying the interview. Liz has vast knowledge for
various pageant systems and has also judged many. This allows her to
give you insight from a Judges perspective. She also helped with
wardrobe decisions and walking techniques. Aside from being a
spectacular coach in so many areas she truly takes you in as her own and
helps to achieve your dreams. I can't thank her enough for all she has
done to help me achieve mine to become Miss National Teenager 2007!"

Birdsell - Miss National Pre-Teen Petite 2002 "Liz, you rock! I love
ya!" (She was 7 years old at the time.....)
Raven Birdsell – Miss National Pre-Teen 2007:
“Liz, I wanted to send you a big Thank-you for helping me to become
“Miss National Pre-Teen 2007. WOW! We did it together again!! I
couldn’t have done it without you.”
Sara Pietila – Miss Junior National Sweetheart 2007
(From Sharon Ranelli, Sara’s Mom): Thank you so much for all of your
help and hard work. Sara did her best and I am very proud of her. Your
training really pays off! Now, Sara and Sasha are in for an amazing
year.
Lindsey
Gray Richardson - Miss North Carolina National Teenager 2007, 1st
Runner Up Miss National Teenager 2008: "Liz, I cannot put in
words how much I have learned from you and how much your encouragement
kept me on my feet! Being named first runner up in America's National
Teenager Scholarship Organization Pageant has truly been my greatest
accomplishment in life thus far, but I know I would not have made it as
far as I did without you! You do such a wonderful job. Your love shows
through your teaching and reflects off of whom you teach. With your
special guidance, my experience with pageantry has been far greater than
I had perceived pageant experiences as being. Learning to be myself and
showing it on stage, has given me much more confidence in who I am.
People will love you for who you are. The judges will love you for who
you are. You did not let me walk on stage as a fake. By having this
quality, there is no doubt that I will shine a special light as I am
challenged with future endeavors. I pray that your business and your
help for other young ladies will continue to be a blessing for others as
it was for me. Thank you so much and may God bless you as you continue
to live for Him."
Lindsey Gray Richardson - Miss North
Carolina National Teenager 2007, 1st Runner Up Miss National
Teenager 2008: (From Patty Bowen Richardson, Lindsey's Mom):
"Dear Elizabeth, I
am writing this letter to say, “thank you” from the bottom of my heart.
As a mother, it has always been my desire to help my children succeed in
all they attempt. When Lindsey Gray was invited to participate in a
state pageant, I felt a sense of helplessness in some ways. The pageant
world was one with which we had limited experienced. To find that
Lindsey Gray would be part of a national pageant after receiving the
Miss North Carolina National Teenager title was to say the least,
overwhelming. Once we read over her package of awards and scholarship
offers, I was thrilled to find your pageant business among the offers.
I can honestly say after speaking to you, Lindsey Gray and I both felt
an instant connection. It’s like we have known you our whole lives.
Your help with the application process reached far beyond anything I
could have ever imagined. Your hard work with her walk, speech,
interview tips, wardrobe, etc. allowed me to enjoy being a mother during
this special time in her life. You took the work out and left me the
joy. For that, I thank you. You took an 18 year old whose first
involvement with pageants was at 17 and developed her to be ranked one
of the top 2 teens in America. It still humbles her dad and me that our
daughter, a Pitt County Ayden North Carolina child place 1st
runner up in America. We were very impressed with your love, support
and commitment to her success. But, what impressed us more was that you
were there to witness this achievement. Thanks again for all that you
did for us and for what you continue to offer the young ladies around
the country. May the Lord continue to bless you and your business."
Janelle Guenette – Miss Massachusetts National Teenager 2007, 2nd
Runner-up Miss National Teenager 2008:
"Elizabeth McGlynn has been my pageant coach over the past few years. I
have seen amazing results in myself since I started working with her.
She is truly an intelligent woman who knows everything about any pageant
system. She works with you as an individual and knows what judges are
looking for in that particular system. With the help and expertise of
Liz, I would not have made it into the Top Five in a national pageant.
Her fantastic paperwork skills always amaze me. The interview skills
I've learned from her will never be lost, not to mention the Overall
Interview Winner Award I received. I always feel
polished, confident, and ready for my pageant after a visit or phone
call with her! I want to thank her for helping me in many
accomplishments, especially becoming Miss Massachusetts National
Teenager 2007 and 2nd runner up at Miss National Teenager 2008."
Samantha Rucki - Top 10, Miss

Miss Minnesota
Preteen National Teenager 2007 (From Sandra Rucki, Samantha's Mom):
Liz, YOU ARE THE BEST! You definitely have a talent. I am amazed what
you can do. You are worth everything and more! Not to mention Sami had
such a wonderful day with you. I know that we will keep in touch. It is
nice to know we not only have a great coach, we have made a new friend.
Thanks. Sandra Rucki - Mother of Samantha Rucki - Miss Minnesota Preteen

Jennifer Clements - Miss New Hampshire National Teenager 2007 - Top 10
Miss National Teenager 2008 :
“Liz, I cannot thank you enough for all
that you have done for me. I NEVER would have made it so far without
you! A year ago if someone told me I would be crowned Miss New Hampshire
National Teenager 2007 and that I would also make the Top Ten at the
National Teenager pageant I would think they were crazy! Your expert
advice and belief in me got me further than I ever imagined. You have
shown me that my goals are always in reach and working with you has
given me so much confidence in myself that I don’t think I would have
found anywhere else. Thank you a thousand times…next step…Miss America!"

RU Miss Junior National Sweetheart 2008 and
Nicole Renard – Miss Washington Preteen National Teenager 2007, 4th
RU Miss Preteen National Teenager 2008 :
“Wow! I can’t say enough about Liz. She
was a wealth of information. She helped us with paper work and
interview. We live on the other side of the United States from her. At
first I was concerned about how my daughters would react to her over the
phone. We were unable to go to Connecticut to visit her before the
pageant. She worked with my girls (ages 12 and 14) over the phone. They
warmed to her really quickly! They loved her and she gave them the
confidence they needed for a successful interview. She also talked with
each of them before the interview to calm down those ‘last minute
jitters.’ Liz is a wonderful person and a huge help. We could not have
done it without her!!!!!!!!"
Janelle Guenette - Miss Massachusetts National Teenager 2007 : I
wanted to thank you again for all you have done. I couldn’t have done it
without you. I have to admit I was a little intimidated but I remembered
what you said about not worrying about anyone else. I stayed focused and
came out on top. I can’t wait to start preparing for nationals. Thanks
again! (Overall Interview winner)
Kristin Thurston – Miss New Hampshire/Massachusetts America’s National
Teenager Co-Director:
Congrats
again on two National Titleholders. Both Mom and I are so fortunate to
have you work with our girls, it certainly makes our job easier, and it
helps them going to Nationals to know they are prepared…I am updating
the website and of course you are the 1st person we would go
to!!! Because you are the best! I thought it would be a great idea to
send girls your way before the State Program who really want to prepare
to the best of their ability. (Director for: Sasha
Almeida-Beers-formerly Miss Massachusetts National Teenager 2006-now

Stacy Potter – Miss Forestville 2006, 4th Runner-up and
Interview Winner at Miss Connecticut 2006:
"Liz, thanks so much. You gave me the tools that I needed to succeed in
the pageant and in my future. You corresponded with me via email almost
every day, sometimes multiple times per day, which kept me focused and
encouraged me to stay motivated. You took such an interest in my
success, that I was inspired to do my best in all phases of
competition. I must have sent you dozens of copies of my paperwork, and
you continued to respond with great feedback and helpful constructive
criticism. We talked about so many topics and through it, you polished
my interview skills, gave me great helpful hints for the pageant, helped
me gain a clearer view of my pageant goals and helped to increase my
self-esteem, both as a competitor and as a young woman! I could not
have won the Interview portion of the Miss Connecticut-America Pageant,
had I not received your helpful manual, perfected my paperwork, and
worked with you to recognize what I really wanted the judges to know
about me. And, during my recent career search, I went on two
interviews, and was offered both jobs, thanks to all of our work
together. By the time we were done with our sessions, I knew I found a
wonderful mentor and friend."
Denise Verriello, Miss Petite
Teen International 2007 - Thank you so much for your continued
support and wisdom! Competing in the Petite International pageant
system was a lot different than the USA system, but you guided me in the
right direction and gave me the confidence to go after the title of Miss
Petite Teen International. I wear it proudly and have you to thank for
it! I couldn't have done it without you!!
Denise Verriello – Top 15 Miss NY Teen
USA 2006 out of 164 girls:
“Thank you so much for working with me. Since I was a first timer I was
very hesitant about going into the Miss New York Teen USA pageant, as I
knew there would be stiff competition and a LOT of girls! I thought that
you definitely helped me with the interview process, because you
stressed how important it was. And with the pageant manual I was able to
look over questions and go over your procedure with anyone who would
help me. You also really helped me choose just the right interview
outfit that would stand out and give me the extra edge. You were also
very warm and friendly and made me feel completely welcome in your home.
By the end of our time together I felt extremely prepared and you gave
me that extra boost of confidence that I needed. I ended up finishing in
the Top 15 of 165 girls and I could never have done it without you!!
Thanks so much!!”
Tamara Chambers
(Mother of Shanielle Chambers - Miss NY Preteen National Teenager 2007,

Chambers – Miss NY National Teenager 2007):
“We had a
wonderful time getting to know you better and truly came away with our
money’s worth and an amazing amount of information. Thank you for
everything you did to boost their confidence! You are so much more than
just our paid consultant. I can’t believe what you are doing for Chelsea
and Allyssa, to find them a program that fits and that they will benefit
from! You are so good to us! The Lord truly blessed us in April 2004
when He crossed our paths and began our future together. There is no
doubt that my girls will accomplish things they never would have been
able to, as a direct result of our connection with you. May the Lord
bless you as much as you are blessing us! Thanks again and again and
again and again!”
