Miss West Coast was my first pageant and it was the best experience I have had as Tara made it welcoming through her kindness and her amazing team. I will never forget the first time having our coaching session for finals she said “ I believe in you and I want you to trust me”. She has always made me feel special and I wouldn’t be where I am without her encouragement, kindness, and love. I am so grateful to be part of the Miss West Coast family and have Tara in my life. 🩷Show less

The Miss West Coast Pageant was my first ever pageant, and Tara is the most amazing director I could ever ask for! She’s always there to help, whether it’s questions or for coaching lessons. She really helped me build my confidence and also inspires me everyday with what she does!

The Miss West Coast pageant was a wonderful experience. Tara Rice works to support each contestant before and after the pageant. She provides opportunities to volunteer in the community, make appearances and has amazing sponsors.
