Hailing from Richwood, West Virginia, Baylee Jarrett proudly captured the crown of Miss West Virginia Teen USA 2025 on July 27, 2025, at the Virginia Thomas Law Center for the Performing Arts in Buckhannon. Representing Miss Pumpkin Festival USA, Baylee wowed the judges with her confidence, poise, and charm—earning Miss Photogenic and winning both Activewear and Evening Gown categories.

At 19, Baylee is a nursing student at Potomac State College of West Virginia University, beginning the nursing program this fall. Following in her father’s footsteps as a healthcare professional, she aspires to become an ICU nurse, providing life-saving care in critical moments. A Summa Cum Laude graduate of Richwood High School and a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Baylee is also an accomplished athlete, logging over 200 miles a month while competing in collegiate cross country and track & field.

Baylee’s passion for service runs deep. She volunteers with her church, the Mountaineer Food Bank, and at local 5Ks. Through her personal platform, “Kids Get Fit,” she encourages children to embrace active, healthy lifestyles to boost both physical and mental well-being.

When she’s not studying or serving her community, Baylee loves horseback riding, traveling, hunting, fishing, and spending time outdoors. A fun fact? She once performed at the U.S. Capitol Tree Lighting Ceremony as a majorette with the Lumberjack Express.
