I am excited to announce that I have been selected as a State Finalist for the Miss Maine USA 2018 Pageant held this October! The pageant is looking for a strong, confident, and intelligent young woman with poise and personality. This pageant is a vehicle for all competitors to seek new confidence, goals, self-discipline and inner beauty. The title holder at the end of the pageant will spend a year working with non-profits, charities and communities as well as representing Maine in the Miss USA 2018 pageant!
I am truly honored to be able to participate in this pageant and represent my home, Mount Dessert Island, and of course the great state of Maine.
This pageant is much more than the glitz and glam for me. It's about empowering other women, being a role model and understanding what it means to be strong women. It would mean the world to be a title holder and set an example for young women in Maine. Personal growth has always been important to me and I have no doubt this pageant will create opportunity for me to grow as a young adult and potentially help me with a career in the future.
I am also proud to share that I was recently promoted to Sergeant (E-5) in the Maine Army National Guard & got my degree in Interpersonal Communication from the University of Maine. I've worked very hard for these accomplishments and I am ready to work just as hard toward a new goal. Competing in this pageant is unlike anything I've ever done but I am ready to combined my life experience, passion, ambition, and confidence as a pageant girl/ State Representative.
Her name is Marina Gray and has been selected as a State Finalist in Maine for the state pageant and if she wins, she could cause major damage come next Miss USA edition
