Lu knows about winning! In less than 3 months, she captured the Miss South Carolina USA, and Miss USA titles. As Miss USA, she placed 4th at the Miss Universe Pageant. After winning the title of Miss USA, Lu moved to Los Angeles, California, and for a year traveled the world making hundreds of appearances.
As you might expect, Lu worked hard to reach her pageant goals, but she admits there was a lack of information available to her. Parker realized how others could benefit from a pageant guidebook that explains in detail the secrets to winning a pageant. Catching the Crown: The Source for Pageant Competition is available at www.amazon.com
