PAM PAHNKE
Pam has worked with the MISS CARLSBAD pageant, as pageant coordinator, for over 20 years. She is the owner of ELEGANCE TALENT AGENCY and MODEL MANAGEMENT, where her models and talent are seen in film, television, and print.
Pam has been in the modeling and fashion business for over 30 years, working in Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Hawaii, before coming to San Diego. She is a resident of Carlsbad, where she has lived for 16 years.
Pam's role in the MISS CARLSBAD pageant starts with recruiting the contestants. She then works and trains them in all areas of the judging including proper stance, and walk, presentation, interviewing skills, confidence, questions on stage, and clothing selection. She also plans the choreography for the entire pageant.
"It has always been a lot of fun, and very rewarding," says Pam. That's why I continue to participate each year. "Also, the proceeds from the pageant go to a very worthwhile cause."
