made my experience the very best"

"Working with Mark and Judie has been one of the best experiences of my pageant career. Each with their own distinct
style, they have a way of working together to bring out the very best each client has to offer. Not only have they provided
me with an incredible support system, but they have also bolstered my confidence in who I am as a person and not just
another pageant contestant. It is rare to meet one person who is willing ot go the extra mile, it is far rarer to meet two.
But that is just what you will find at Pageant University: two such people who are invested in the development of a
contestant not only as such, but as a friend."

"As pageant coaches go Judie and Mark are top notch. Their experience and knowledge of the pageant circuit is unmatched.
They are not just terrific pageant coaches, they are invaluable life coaches as well. Of course I am happy to have won the
title of Mrs Massachusetts 2007, but in the meantime they have both taught me so much about confidence and presence. I
feel I am well equiped for many other endeavors I had once feared to take on. They have provided me with the tools I need
to make my dreams come true They believed in me and in turn helped me to believe in myself. I am so grateful they have
brought out the best in me and helped me realize that the building blocks were always there. I just needed to give myself the
permission to do my very best."

Michelle Horne - Miss Rochester Fair, Miss New Hampshire Coed 2008
"When I first decided to go to Pageant University I was a little nervous about the whole idea of a pageant coach. I thought
all pageant coaches turned out the same kind of contestant and I didn't want to be a "Pageant Patty". To my total surprise,
Mark and Judie never wanted to change anything about my personality, in fact, they loved it! They have always encouraged
me to be myself and to never let any pageant or judge tell me differently. I may not have won every pageant I have entered,
but I've had the confidence to stand on stage as myself and not conform to what I think the judges want me to be. Pageant
University isn't just a place where you get a coach. It's a place where you get support and lifelong friends. Judie and
Mark became a second family to me and I will keep returning to them as long as I compete."

Michele Sharp - Mrs Massachusetts International, Mrs New Hampshire United States< Beauties of America
"I was a late comer to pageantry but my national experience was a blast and so much fun. Now, thanks to Mark and Judie's
interview help, I am employed as a elementary principal in a local City's School System. I knew when I walked out the door
after my interview the job would be mine. I could not have done it without their help."

"Having Mark and Judie as my coaches gives me the confidence to go out there and shine. They are never pushy or try to
change who you are, in fact they've shown me great qualities about myself that I never noticed before. They go above and
beyond expectation to make sure that you are getting exactly what you need to become your best self. I always felt like I
was their only client because they put so much time and effort into helping me accomplish my goals."

"The information I learned about pageantry and how to be a strong contender for the crown from Mark and Judie was
immeasurable. Going in with hardly any pageant experience, I expected to learn the basics, but came out with in-depth
knowledge of how to be my personal best AND a great friendship. Not only did we have fun working on competition technique,
but we also established a unique relationship. I know I can some to them with any questions or concerns, pageant related or
just to chat. My skills improved in gaining confidence from their feedback and critique. Making me feel at ease and coming
in to my own is a special talent that have; they do no train you to be a pageant machine, but enhance your own unique features
to make you the most competitive you can be. They catered to what I needed to work on, and focused more of our time on
those areas. Very individualized. Their hospitality was amazing and I feel like an adopted daughter. Not many offer the
warm heart that these two do. I would absolutely recommend Mark and Judie to help with your pageant needs. You will not
be disappointed.

Amanda Kelly - Miss Massachusetts 2009 MAO
"Pageant University gave me the courage and confidence I needed to be able to reach my full potential in pageantry. When I
came to see Mark and Judie I wanted coaching switching from dancing to singing for my talent- that year at states I won
preliminary talent! I can truly say, if it weren't for Mark and Judie I would not be where I am today. Whether it was
interview prep, talent selection or paperwork- Mark and Judie always were there encouraging and supporting me to the end.
They have so much energy, creativity and compassion for what they do and I would recommend them to an girl looking to get
into pageantry. A truly wonderful experience! Thank you so much Mark and Judie for believing in me and teaching me how to
truly believe in myself- you will both always be near and dear to my heart!"
