Miss Tennessee 2025 Zoe Scheiderich
Zoe Scheiderich is the seventy-second Miss Tennessee. A native of Lebanon, Tennessee, she is currently pursuing a degree in Entertainment Journalism at Middle Tennessee State University. A classically trained dancer, Zoe has earned over $20,000 in scholarships by competing in the Miss America Opportunity over the past three years.
​
Her lifelong love for dance has taken her to prestigious institutions across the country. She received merit scholarships to elite programs including the School of American Ballet in New York City, Miami City Ballet, Boston Ballet, and Pacific Northwest Ballet. At Project Ballet, she earned the rare opportunity to choreograph an original piece—an honor typically reserved for professionals—and later directed a completely student-run production for the conservatory.
​
Zoe’s heart for service shines through her Community Service Initiative, “Triple E – Elevating, Empowering, and Equipping Women.” She has presented her platform to state leaders at the Tennessee State Capitol and brought it to life through hands-on efforts, such as launching a dance class for women recovering from sex trafficking in partnership with Rest Stop Ministries. She also co-leads a Christian, faith-based ministry with her mother and founded a small business, Ballerina Birthdays, which combines her entrepreneurial spirit with her love for dance and children.
​
Her leadership and talent are matched by resilience and a compelling life story. At just 14 years old, Zoe moved away from home to pursue ballet training, living with three host families over four years while being homeschooled alongside her four younger siblings. She has overcome personal challenges with tenacity and grace. Among her many accomplishments are publishing a book at the age of four, earning a “Best Lead Actress” nomination at the Tennessee Theater Awards, and making her television debut during a Nashville Predators game.
​
With dreams of becoming a sideline commentator and ESPN broadcast anchor, Zoe Scheiderich brings charisma, compassion, and a commanding stage presence to every room she enters. As Miss Tennessee, she plans to advocate for women and dance her way across the state.
