Zoe Ferraro was crowned Miss Oklahoma USA on 9 March 2025 and will represent Oklahoma at the Miss USA 2025 pageant in Reno, Nevada. Born and raised in the Tulsa area, Zoe now lives in Warr Acres. She is a graduate of Oklahoma State University and is passionate about advocating for education and literacy across Oklahoma.
Zoe Ferraro, a 24-year-old Tulsa native, is passionate about advocating for education and literacy across Oklahoma. As a child, Zoe struggled with reading and didn’t learn to read until the 4th grade. She was often told she would never be “college material,” Zoe defied the odds through hard work and determination. She graduated high school with a 4.0 GPA and went on to attend Oklahoma State University, where she graduated in May 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Multimedia Journalism and a double minor in political science and sports management.
After graduation, Zoe was determined to pursue a career where she could make a tangible difference in others’ lives. Today, she works as a corporate recruiter, helping individuals navigate their interviews and find career opportunities that align with their goals and aspirations.
Education has always been at the heart of Zoe’s journey, and as Miss Oklahoma USA, she is committed to visiting all 77 counties in Oklahoma to promote literacy, inspire confidence in students, and advocate for better resources for those who, like her, face challenges in their educational journey.
When Zoe isn’t working or advocating, she enjoys spending time with her Sheepadoodle, Arthur, making sourdough bread, or working out!
