Sponsor & Partner of the Miss Rodeo Arkansas organization

I am honored to serve as your 2026 Miss Teen Rodeo Arkansas, hailing from Polk County along our state's western border.

Raised in a family deeply rooted in agriculture and the western way of life, I learned early on the value of hard work, respect, and dedication to land and livestock. My foundation in agriculture grew stronger through 13 years in 4-H and 5 years in FFA. The experiences, community involvement, and friendships I gained through these organizations continue to shape who I am today.

After graduating from Mena High School, I am continuing my education at the University of Arkansas Rich Mountain. I plan to pursue a career in occupational therapy with a specialization in hippotherapy. This path allows me to blend my passion for helping others with my lifelong love for horses.

Beyond my studies, I stay involved on campus through Baptist Collegiate Ministries and remain active in my local church.

Throughout my reign, I am excited to share my platform, "GRIT that GROWS." My goal is to encourage students across Arkansas to see how the grit and determination built through their hobbies and passions can propel them toward success both in and out of the classroom.
