National American Miss Nationals

This past Thanksgiving was certainly one to remember!  I had the pleasure of attending the National American Miss National Pageant in California with my client, Grace Nester- NAM Miss Minnesota Princess.  We had a blast!  It was so much fun watching Grace's hard work come to life on stage.  Grace is an incredibly dedicated, talented, and sweet little girl.  She sure is an exceptional seven year old!

Prior to the pageant, Grace, her parents, and I, worked for hours to help her put her best foot forward on that national stage.  In addition to preparing for the various competitions, she dedicated so much time towards her community service project: Twin Cities Pet Rescue.  Grace volunteered endless hours towards raising money for this cause as well as encouraging community members to rescue pets that are in need of homes.  She did all this with a smile on her face and pep in her step!

Grace's hard work was rewarded at the national pageant when she came home heavily decorated and celebrated. Everyone knew who that little Princess from Minnesota was!  Grace astonished us by placing in the top five of every single optional contest she entered: Casual Wear Modeling, Talent, Spokesmodel, and Actress.  On top of that, she placed or won many additional special contests, and finished 4th runner up in the Queen's competition!  See a full list of Grace's accomplishments below.

I think back of our time in California often and fondly.  Grace made us all so proud and I was honored to have been her coach.  Seeing her accomplish her goals and grow, all while having fun, has inspired me and all those around her. Congratulations, Grace!
