"As a cowgirl, my love for rodeo lives deep within who I am,
and I embrace the western way of life and may faith. I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to serve my home state
and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association as Miss Rodeo Kansas. Whether I was riding in to the arena with Old Glory,
assisting the sponsors and cowboys, or getting to meet a young rodeo fan, I wanted to display a smile and attitude that showed
my passion for rodeo and the values it represents. As Miss Rodeo America, I will continue being an asset to the sport of professional
rodeo through serving and working hard while always remaining genuine, showing the grace, beauty, and spirit of our Western
Heritage. The Heartland of America would be an excellent home for the first lady of Professional Rodeo."
