About Dr. Helen McCracken

I can’t wait to learn more about you! For your information, and to help you make informed decisions, here is some information about me – Dr. Helen McCracken!

My story begins when my daughter and only child, Elissa McCracken, entered the world of pageantry at the age of 12. She continued as a contestant, experimenting with a variety of experiences, until she reached her goal, representing her college state as Miss Ohio 2012 on the national pageant stage at the Miss America Competition.

As a pageant mom and lifelong educator, I was happily by her side throughout her journey. Both my educational background and my professional experiences, including leading literally hundreds of educator interviews, allowed me to specifically help her.

After her path as a contestant ended, my formal experiences as a professional pageant coach began at the requests of pageant participants who had come to learn about Dr. Helen McCracken!

Now, with my unique and extensive experience as a pageant judge, pageant coach/consultant, and even pageant mom, I can use my successful knowledge to help you!

I can’t wait to help you reach your pageant goals and invite you to contact me for a 30–45-minute online Meet and Greet at no charge.

You can find me on Skype, not specifically as Dr. Helen McCracken, but more precisely as “drhelenmccracken,” my Skype name. Let’s connect!

Get started now so we can discuss your goals and make our first important personal connection! I’m so excited to work with you and help you learn about me and how I can help you!
