JASMIN KOTEK

Jasmin Kotek is a first-generation college graduate and a proud middle school math teacher in her hometown of Faribault, Minnesota. A lifelong advocate for holistic well-being, she prioritizes physical and mental health—whether coaching athletic teams or throwing heavy weights overhead in CrossFit, she fully embodies what it means to be #MissAmericaFit to the core. Her greatest passion, however, lies in mental health advocacy. Inspired by personal experience, Jasmin co-founded CultureChange, a nonprofit organization focused on expanding access to mental health resources through outreach, education, and connection. Now, as Miss Owatonna 2025, through the Miss America Opportunity, she is committed to delivering a powerful trifecta—health, education, and advocacy—to ensure every individual has the tools, support, and access they deserve.
