I am honored to call myself a PageantSmart girl ! Jorge is the best interview coach in the world to me! He truly cares and is always so helpful and supportive and for that I am forever grateful. He has prepared me to always be my best when it comes to interview. With his insight and help, I was able to win one of my dream titles on my first try, National American Miss Florida Jr. Teen. I could not ask for a better coach or friend and now I consider him my honorary godfather. I cannot thank him enough for all the love and continued investment he has put into me becoming successful and happy in all that I do.

Working with Jorge and his team since 2020 completely changed my approach to interview. I’ve always had strong ideas and stories, but I did not always know how to communicate them clearly or make them stand out. Jorge helped me find my voice, organize my thoughts, and stay calm under pressure. His mentorship helped me win 2 prestigious national titles and an international title, all within 5 years.
​
Beyond the crowns, the biggest impact is how I show up in everyday life. Whether at school, in leadership, or in new situations, I use my interview skills to share my thoughts with confidence and clarity. I would absolutely recommend Jorge to anyone serious about improving their communication skills. He will prepare you to answer questions, help you develop a personal brand, and show you how to truly connect with people.

​Working with Jorge was such a game changer for my pageant journey! He helped me feel confident, prepared, and truly myself in the interview room. With his guidance, I learned how to answer questions clearly, stay calm under pressure, and let my personality shine. Jorge truly helped me to grow, while also supporting my ideas and plans every step of the way. His coaching played a huge role in helping me achieve my first national title, but even more than that, it’s helped me in everyday life - from school presentations to meeting new people. The skills I’ve gained go far beyond pageants, and I’m so grateful for everything he’s taught me!​

Working with Jorge at PageantSmart has completely transformed my pageant journey. In just two years, I’ve seen incredible growth not only in how I present myself on stage and in the interview room, but in my everyday confidence as well. Jorge has a unique ability to help me put my thoughts and feelings into words, and more importantly, turn those words into authentic action. His coaching goes beyond preparation, it builds real confidence and clarity that shows in every aspect of my life. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their performance and truly understand their voice.

Emma Cook
Miss USA Ambassador Preteen 2017
Emma began working with Jorge prior to competing in the Miss Pre Teen United States pageant in 2017. At an age when girls are self-conscious and often do not feel comfortable expressing themselves, Jorge gave Emma the tools and confidence she needed to present the best version of herself.He helped Emma understand how to show the judges her true personality and express her strengths. Emma blossomed under Jorge’s guidance and received 1st Runner-Up at the Miss Pre Teen United States Pageant.
​
​
With Jorge’s encouragement Emma went on to compete at Miss Preteen USA Ambassador 2017. Throughout the week, Jorge took the time to check in on Emma and ask her how she was doing and if she needed anything. I truly believe his commitment to her success was instrumental in Emma being crowned Miss USA Ambassador Preteen 2017. It was Jorge that Emma contacted to calm her nerves before her personal interview as well as before she competed in On-Stage Fun Chat. His advice and words of encouragement gave her the confidence to speak from her heart and truly made her stand out during onstage interview. I truly believe that it was Emma’s interview that made the difference and is the reason she won the USA Ambassador Preteen title.

It has been such an incredible journey working with PageantSmart over the last few years! My interview skills have improved tremendously. Jorge, I am so grateful for your style of coaching; you let me be me. I felt prepared for not only my pageant interview but for my goals once I became a Queen! Your mock interviews helped me prepare as though I’m actually in competition! Plus, it was awesome to meet your team so I didn’t get comfortable interviewing with just one person! You are a caring and positive coach; very easy to work with. You take your time with clients and give feedback in a positive way. I look forward to continuing working with you and growing in my pageant journey.

Working with Pageantsmart has allowed me to feel more confident and comfortable in an interview setting. With interview being my weakest area of competition, I have not always enjoyed this aspect of pageantry. However, being taught how to guide my interview as well as the perfect way to structure an answer has allowed me to make my interview more personal and fun. Throughout my journey with Pageantsmart, I have captured the titles of USA National Miss, National American Miss Florida Jr. Teen, USA National Miss Florida Teen, Worlds Perfect Jr. Teen, Royal International Miss Florida Jr. Teen, Florida Galaxy Teen and Citrus National Jr. Teen. Overall, Jorge & Pageantsmart have made me a better public speaker and interviewer. I’ve gained skills that will benefit me in the long run and I would definitely recommend Pageantsmart! #smartgirlsrock
