"I have dreamed of being Miss Teen Rodeo Illinois since I began riding. Moving and doctoring cattle, competing in rodeos and going to barrel races has shown me this lifestyle cannot die out. Being an ambassador for the western way of life will help inspire youth to keep up this timeless sport called rodeo."
