Academic Excellence and Future Aspirations
A proud native of Frisco, Schiermeyer recently graduated from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, with a degree in psychology, achieving a remarkable 4.0 GPA.

She draws from her own experiences of overcoming an eating disorder, highlighting the necessity of accountability partners and a network of caring individuals in one’s recovery.
Success in Competition
During the competition, Schiermeyer demonstrated her talent by winning two preliminary awards: one in the Evening Gown category and another in the Health and Fitness category. Her dedication and preparation shone through, further solidifying her status as a formidable contender.
