Kadam and 24 other Miss Oregon contestants com- peted in preliminary compe- titions Wednesday through Friday, before the fi nal con- test and crowning at the Sea- side Civic and Convention Center. For the talent portion , Kadam sang a rendition of the song “Refl ection” from Disney’s “Mulan.” However, her empha- sis throughout the competi- tion was promoting s cience, t echnology, e ngineering and m ath and discussing how she will help contribute to grow- ing the next generation of female engineers and scien- tists through her platform: STEM to Bloom. “Anyone can be in the Miss America organization,” said Kadam, who graduated from Oregon State Univer- sity in 2018 with a degree in chemical engineering and works as a construction man- ager in semiconductor man- ufacturing for Jacobs Engi- neering Group. “It doesn’t matter what your goals are, personal or professional, we are here to support you in all of those goals.” Photos by Katherine Lacaze/For The Astorian Miss Oregon 2018 Taylor Ballard passes her crown to Shivali Kadam, Miss Portland, at the 2019 Miss Oregon Scholarship Program’s state competition, which concluded with the crowning Saturday night in Seaside. Marin Gray, Umpqua Valley’s Outstanding Teen, is crowned Miss Oregon’s Outstanding Teen for 2019 by Kennedy Hjelte, Miss Oregon’s Outstanding Teen 2018. Kadam fi rst became famil- iar with the Miss Oregon Scholarship Program when she saw her friend and fellow collegiate a cappella group member Emma Wampler, Miss Linn-Benton County 2015, at an appearance. “When she described the program to me, the emphasis on service, I was like, ‘I’m all in, I want to do this,’” SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE NORTH COAST SYMPHONIC BAND Established July 1, 1873 (USPS 035-000) Published Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday by EO Media Group, 949 Exchange St., PO Box 210, Astoria, OR 97103 Telephone 503-325-3211, 800-781-3211 or Fax 503-325-6573.

It has brought me a second family and so many mentors I respect so much who have been guid- ing lights in my life.” During the fi nal day of competition, Kadam and the other top 10 candidates com- peted for a second time in the categories of talent; evening wear and social impact; and onstage interview. Those candidates included Emily Warren, Miss Sunstone; Stephanie Magee, Miss Meadow Lark; Claire Sparks, Miss Central Valley; Rylee Young, Miss Southern Gem; Sarah Blum, Miss Linn-Benton County; Josie Carstensen, Miss Cap- ital City; Rose Sheldon, Miss Coos County; Allison Burke, Miss Northwest Wonder- land; Hannah Garhofer, Miss Tri-Valley; and Dan- ielle Cormier, Miss Emerald Valley. Garhofer, of Seaside, was Miss Clatsop County in 2017. Once the fi eld was nar- rowed down to the top fi ve — Kadam, Sparks, Magee, Burke and Garhofer — the contestants had an onstage discussion with emcee Kari Virding Christensen, Miss Oregon 2007, about their qualifi cations for the job that accompanies the crown. Kadam will advance to the Miss America pageant. Also during the evening, Marin Gray, of Roseburg, was crowned Miss Oregon’s Outstanding Teen. Gray, who took fourth runner-up last year, was Miss Umpqua Val- ley’s Outstanding Teen. “I went into it this time just wanting to bond with my sister queens, because I realized last year that there was such a good sisterhood,” said Gray, whose platform is Building Respect, Alli- ances, and Value for Every- one, or BRAVE. “I came in here with the mindset of just spending time with those people who are so amazing and having a lot of fun, and it just worked out for me this year.” She will spend the next three weeks refi ning her per- formance in the various cate- gories of competition to pre- pare for the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen Competi- tion in Florida at the end of July.
