- Katie Melanie Lam

“Katie has made a huge impact in the way I look at pageants. She revealed to me not only strategies and helpful tips, but also the brute reality of competition and how to flourish while facing arduous challenges. From giving me helpful advice to assisting me with my wardrobe, Katie has been a helpful mentor in breaking me into this pageant. She is a person that wants nothing but to help others and empower women while giving unfiltered advice. She influenced me to pridefully take on my new role in the MAG 2019 court and to continue to share knowledge with others as she has with me.”

“Katie is an excellent leader who prioritizes the needs and goals of others beyond many other founders I have met. She is able to translate her vision into an actionable plan for her employees and set them in the right direction to get it done. In my time working with her, she has been an inspiration. Her story and journey centers the people she interacts with, serving as an excellent role model for women looking to advance in their careers.”

“Katie is like the big sister I never thought I needed until she came into my life. She has a heart of gold and is one of my number one supporters for anything I want to do in life! Her knack for building relationships, posturing herself to be at the right place at the right times, and tenacity for self improvement makes her one of my most fierce badass female friends. She also has such a story of overcoming her inner demons that deeply inspired me when times got tough. Katie’s the testament of feminine strength and what it means to never stop working hard in chasing your dreams – she has taught me that!”
