Miss Minnesota places in top 11 at Miss America
Emily Schumacher says her experience on stage can help other women achieve their dreams
MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - A warm congratulations to Miss Minnesota for placing in the top 11 at Miss America!
Mankato’s own Emily Schumacher competed alongside 51 other contestants in Orlando, Florida, for the title of Miss America 2025.
Emily won 11th place in the competition.
“Miss America is relevant,” said Emily Schumacher. “It is the largest scholarship organization in the country.”
Her talent was tap dance, and her community service initiative was “the heart of the matter.”
Now that she’s returned home, Emily says her experience on stage can help other women achieve their dreams.
“It is truly empowering for women across the country to chase their dreams,” said Schumacher. “Don’t let other people tell you no to stop you from chasing your dreams. I felt so empowered on the Miss America stage to really push through and become a future surgeon, a future physician, and do what makes me happy and what I want to accomplish in my life.”
Emily’s goal is to continue her passion of spreading awareness during Heart Health month in February.
And the next crowning for Miss Mankato will begin on Saturday, February 8.
