A native of Lamar, Madison Dorenkamp was crowned Miss Colorado USA on 28 October 2018 and represented Colorado at the Miss USA 2019 pageant in Reno, Nevada. She was the first winner from southeast Colorado for many decades.
Madison Dorenkamp is a 26-year-old Colorado Native that grew up in Southeastern Colorado, and now lives in Denver. She describes herself as a small-town girl at heart. Growing up Madison learned the true meaning of a strong work ethic. If she wasn’t competing in sports, she was out on her family ranch helping wherever she could. One of Madison’s favoUrite memories from growing up was riding horses with her brother and her dad on the weekends.
Madison is now a Marketing and Brand Developer, after graduating from Johnson and Wales University, with a degree in Hospitality management. In addition to her full-time career, Madison also teaches part time as a Pure Barre Instructor. Madison also is the creator of her own lifestyle blog which emphasises on health and fitness. She aspires to turn her blog into a full-time career, brand, and video series. Madison authentically connects with people and uses her natural drive to motivate and encourage others in all aspects of her life.
Madison hopes to use this next year to touch the lives of others. When Madison was 13 years old, her childhood home was destroyed by a tornado in Southeastern Colorado. The American Red Cross Association helped her family and her small town. Madison will be forever grateful for the help they received after that natural disaster and continues to raise awareness on all the work that the American Red Cross Association continues to do.
