Welcome to Ariel's Crown Academy!Whether you are a seasoned beauty queen or a newcomer to the pageant glitz-and-glam, I am here for you at every step of your winning journey. My pageant coaching sessions will highlight your personality during your interviews and help you develop a stunning on-stage presence, through rigorous training in mock interviews, runway, advocacy development, social media, wardrobe, and so much more.
I have been competing in Canadian and Chinese pageants since I was 16 years old, and have graced the national and international stage at over 12 in-person and virtual pageants. I have had the opportunity to help numerous girls as well in the past couple of years in their pageant journeys, and I have been so inspired when I see my students grow to become confident and eloquent young ladies. A pageant coach is a life coach; some of the skills I have gained as a competitor have continued to help me today, academically as a MPhil in Education graduate from the University of Cambridge, and career-wise as a CEO & Founder of a nonprofit in the education sector. I am excited to continue to expand my knowledge and love for mentorship in Fall 2023 as I attend Harvard Graduate School of Education. As a coach, I will help you find your core identity in our values-based training, so you will not only win in pageants, but also win in life. Some of my pageant accomplishments include:

She not only prepared me for the pageant by teaching me how to walk in heels and answer interview questions, but she also helped me to feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin." 
Miss Teenage Burnaby '18 Carol Gao "Ariel was vital in my journey in the pageant world in 2018. Having never learned how to walk in heels, feel confident on stage, or even speak in public, Ariel was there to teach me and help me to overcome these obstacles. Some advice: don't be afraid of what others may think and to stay faithful to who you are. Be confident in your own beauty and abilities." |
