Competing in a pageant requires so much preparation and with that comes a pageant coach. As I was getting ready to compete in the Miss Colorado USA 2011 pageant, I came across the opportunity to work with KeelyStyle. Keely did a remarkable job with me and I would not exchange the experience of working with her for anything. From the start, I felt accepted and embraced. She thought me how to walk on stage, pose and answer interview questions confidently. Also, she helped me find the right evening gown, shoes, interview outfit and jewelry. In that process, I learned that to her this is not just a job but a passion. She cared so much and prepared me physically, mentally and emotionally. Her everyday positivity kept me encouraged and focused. Because of her help and support, I was able to compete with full confidence and place in the top 15 out of 48 contestants. Looking back, there is not one thing I would change. I was able to prepare to my fullest ability and KeelyStyle played a big part in that. Keely is an amazing person and a coach, she has made a big difference in my life and I look forward to working with her again!

Keely, your insight to my paperwork was great! I read through it again and made it my own, by using your suggestions.

I got a contract with Elite in Paris, so I will be doing some modeling, as well as teaching English part-time. I am very excited. During my audition I thought about all you had taught me and how you truly made me able to express myself, and I will never forget you or express how truly grateful I am for that.

Miss Colorado USA 2011 was my very first pageant.  Without Keely's guidance, I would have been lost. Thanks to her coaching and expertise, I was very prepared and felt confident going into competition. As a result, I placed in the Top 15!

Hi!  My name is Melaina Shipwash and I am the newly crowned Miss Colorado 2010!  I could not have done this without Keely Nations being on my team of amazing people that helped me prepare for this year.  She made me the best Melaina I could be for this competition and given the resources with which she has provided me, I will grow better and stronger as I prepare to compete for the title of Miss America 2011!  Thank you so much Keely, for everything!!!

Keely, wow what an amazing, positive, and beautiful women you are!! Thank you for everything you truly helped me to compete to my best, and helped me be the best Lexie O'Dowd that I could be.
-Lexie O’ Dowd, Miss Colorado’s Outstanding Teen 2010

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you working with  Lexie and I to help prepare her for the pageant!  You were such an  incredible influence on her in the short amount of time we had to pull  things together!  She couldn't have made the progress  she made  without you...from the help with the talent, to mock interviews,  resume advice , modeling,  makeup training and wardrobe advice,(and I  am sure I am forgetting things) ...you covered it all (in about  5-6weeks!!).  I am so impressed with how you embraced the opportunity  and how  you stayed on top of everything!    You are truly polished  and a  professional at what you do!   I look forward to everything we  have ahead of us and I know you will be there with any advice or help  that we might need!
