Shaina Zazzaro, Mrs. New York American, Heads to Las Vegas in Pursuit of the Coveted Mrs. American Title

This August, all eyes will be on Las Vegas as Shaina Zazzaro, the reigning Mrs. New York American, takes the national stage to compete for the prestigious title of Mrs. American 2025. With grace, grit, and a powerful story of transformation, Shaina is more than just a beauty queen — she is a beacon of purpose, health, and hope.

A mother, wife, entrepreneur, and speaker, Shaina knows the value of resilience. After welcoming her children, she found herself struggling with weight gain and the demands of motherhood. But she refused to settle. Through determination and discipline, she shed over 70 pounds, proving that women can reclaim their health and confidence at any stage of life.

“Health is wealth,” Shaina often says — a mantra she lives by. Today, her lifestyle reflects strength, balance, and a renewed focus on well-being. But her mission extends far beyond personal transformation.

The loss of her sister to a fentanyl overdose reshaped Shaina’s outlook and ignited a fire within her to create change. In honor of her sister’s memory, Shaina now speaks openly about addiction, grief, and the importance of mental and physical health. She is passionate about educating youth on the power of healthy choices and the belief that their dreams are always within reach.

Shaina is proud to serve as a Beauty for Good Ambassador with Victoria’s Voice Foundation, using her platform to raise awareness about the dangers of substance abuse and advocate for preventative education in schools.

As the founder of a million-dollar company, Shaina blends her business acumen with her heart for service. Whether she’s mentoring young girls, speaking on stages, or building platforms for others to thrive, her impact is undeniable.

She also gives free motivational speeches, donates free holiday meals to low-income families, provides meals and encouragement to senior centers, and supports organizations like Ronald McDonald House and Golisano Children’s Hospital. Her generosity has been spotlighted by local media for her efforts to spread holiday cheer through community meal drives.

“My goal isn’t just to wear a crown,” says Shaina. “It’s to use the crown — to inspire, motivate, and empower as many people as possible.”
