Kadam crowned Miss Oregon in Seaside
Her emphasis
is promoting
STEM subjects
By KATHERINE
LACAZE
For The Astorian
SEASIDE — Oregon
has a new representative: a
25-year-old engineer armed
with a passion to demon-
strate Miss America and
its interconnected state and
local programs can be an out-
let for women with diverse
interests.
“I’ve been working for
this goal for four years, and
to fi nally have it come to fru-
ition and to be able to set
into action all the plans I’ve
been dreaming of for years is
so exciting, ” said Miss Port-
land Shivali Kadam, who
was crowned Miss Oregon
on Saturday night.
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.”

Saturday night in Seaside.
Marin Gray, Umpqua Valley’s Outstanding Teen, is crowned
Miss Oregon’s Outstanding Teen for 2019 by Kennedy Hjelte,

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,’”

Kadam said. “I’m so grateful
for the last four years in this
organization. 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.
