She graduated early from Scottsbluff High School in the spring of 2010 after taking a double load of classes throughout high school. Teresa was named a Salutatorian for the Scottsbluff class of 2010.

In 2012, she enrolled as a student at Patrick Henry College.
In her spare time, Scanlan enjoys singing, acting, dancing, playing piano and guitar, composing songs, baking, participating in activities with her local church, and making clothes out of duct tape, among many other hobbies.
In 2018, Scanlan announced she had joined the Air National Guard as an Airman First Class, while continuing her education at UC Berkeley School of Law. She serves as a member of the Wyoming Air National Guard in the 153rd Force Support Squadron. Scanlan graduated from her basic combat training class in the top 10%.

Miss Nebraska 2010
She won the title of Miss Nebraska 2010 on June 5, 2010, when she received her crown from outgoing titleholder Brittany Jeffers. Scanlan's platform is “Eating Disorders: A Generation at Risk.” Scanlan's passion to combat eating disorders stems from a friend who struggled with bulimia. Scanlan did research about eating disorders for her friend and discovered how rampant it was across the nation. She hopes to educate children and adults alike as to the signs and risks of eating disorders, as well as how and where to get help for themselves or a loved one. Her competition talent was piano. At 17 years of age, she is the youngest Miss Nebraska ever crowned. After winning the title of Miss Nebraska 2010, Scanlan announced that she was taking a year off from school to fulfill her duties as Miss Nebraska 2010, and that she had deferred enrollment to Patrick Henry College until the fall of 2011.
