Hello, I’m Nduta Wacheke, a dedicated model and pageant coach with a passion for empowering others. I am proud to have held the title of Miss Face of Devolution Kenya Queen Ambassador, and I am currently the reigning 2nd runner-up of Miss Kenya Women Teachers Association. As the CEO of Stunning Stages, I lead a company committed to nurturing and developing the talents of children and youth, positively impacting their lives and helping them shine.
2.What inspired you to become a model and later a model trainer?
My journey into modeling was driven by a deep passion for self-expression and empowerment. I was inspired by the transformative power of the fashion industry, which allows individuals to showcase their uniqueness while gaining confidence. As I developed my skills and had the opportunity to compete in pageants, I realized the importance of guidance and mentorship in this field. This motivated me to become a model trainer—to share my knowledge, experiences, and passion with aspiring models. I want to empower them to find their voice, build their confidence, and succeed in a competitive environment while helping them embrace their individuality. Seeing others thrive and shine in their own right is what truly fuels my dedication to training.

When asked about the most exciting part of being a pageant judge, I like to say, "It's definitely the free front-row seat 😂😂you know, watching all the contestants strut their stuff while I sit here, trying not to eat all the snacks I brought! Plus, getting to hear all those creative answers to the questions is like being at a stand-up comedy show—who knew so many people had such unique perspectives on world peace and favorite pizza toppings?" It’s a blend of glamour and giggles that keeps things entertaining!🤣🤣 On a lighter note though.
