Testimonials

"What Shiemicka offers young women goes far beyond pageantry. Shiemicka is not simply a Pageant Coach she becomes your friend, mentor, role-model, and biggest supporter. What lies behind Shiemicka’s magic is that she does not try to force young women into a particular 'pageant mold,' she discovers what is unique about you and helps you learn how to let it shine through on stage and in interview. What is so exceptional about Shiemicka is her ability to connect with every single girl, no matter where she comes from, how much pageant experience she has (if any), her age group, or what her particular needs are.

What I cherish about Shiemicka is how tremendously devoted she is to her 'girls.' Shiemicka has always been there for me — always more than willing to set up sessions that work around my schedule, provide endless support over the phone, and even spend her own time researching something that I need. Nevertheless, I think her greatest gift is knowing how to tailor her advice to each girl in the right way. She knows how to keep you motivated. She knows how to tell each girl exactly what she needs to hear to stay focused on getting mentally, (and physically!) prepared.

Shiemicka is nothing but positive and supportive, even in stressful circumstances. It is because of her support that I have been able to come this far. I know that she will be with me every step of the way as we prepare for Miss USA. "

" Thank you so much Shiemicka for everything I really don’t know how I would have made it through the pageant without you. You were there when I needed you. I thank you so verrrry much for everything, and don’t worry because next year with your help I’ll be back new and improved ready to take on the next competition. This year was my first but most definitely not my last. It was great experience working with all the other beautiful young ladies and it was a pleasure working with you. Once again, I thank you so much! "

" I loved working with Shiemicka because she is a very down to earth person who knows what she is talking about. The time spent with her was worth every second. She is an excellent teacher and I learned more with her than I thought I ever would. She gave me the confidence I needed to get on that stage as well as the information I needed to even be a part of it. Thank you for everything you have done for me, your kind and considerate nature made me open right up to you and that’s something that can sometimes be hard for me. You gave me strength and the confidence to keep going no matter what happened. I appreciate all that you have done for me. I’ll see you next year! "
