Each week, I share no-fluff pageant coaching that helps you win. Both on stage and off. After coaching titleholders in Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss America, and 350+ pageant interviews, this isn’t theory. It’s what works.
👑 About Josie
Josie Nasekos graduated from Mississippi State University in 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Economics. This August, she graduated from Clemson University with her Master’s in Applied Economics and Statistics. This past July, Josie competed as Miss Clinton Volunteer in the Miss Mississippi Volunteer Pageant and was first runner-up, giving her the opportunity to compete in the National Sweetheart Pageant as Miss Mississippi Sweetheart.
With 20 years of ballet training, Josie is an avid dancer and loves the opportunity that pageantry gives her to continue performing. She is also passionate about the environment and has provided education, volunteer, and recycling opportunities to thousands of Mississippians through her S.E.R.V.E. Initiative, Earth Empowered.
