It looks like we have royalty in our midst! Meet Emma Vrieze, Miss Minnesota 2025.

Emma is more than a crown. She's a nursing student here at Moorhead, minoring in psychology and leading with heart as president of the Letters of Love club, which sends uplifting messages to hospitalized children around the world.

Whether she's advocating for water safety through her community service initiative or supporting patients at Essentia Health, Emma brings compassion and purpose to everything she does.

Emma credits Minnesota State Moorhead for helping prepare her to rise to each challenge Miss Minnesota brings:

"The unique thing about the nursing program is how incredibly strong it is. Our professors teach us how to be great nurses and critical thinkers," she explains.

"That same critical thinking helps me answer high-pressure questions during competitions. Whether I'm caring for a patient or answering a question on gun control, I must respond with compassion and clarity."
