Traveler’s Dream

On March 4th, 2025, I officially hit the road to be on my travels and hitting rodeo season with a busy schedule. The trip started with a PRCA rodeo in Missouri, which my mom was able to travel with me to. She wanted to be sure that my initial, three day drive, was made safely, where then she spent time with me. I soon dropped her off in Tennessee at the airport, and I was traveling on my own for the rest of the trip. Thus far, I have spent time working Rodeos in California, Arizona, Kansas, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky, Texas, Tenessee, Oklahoma- and all of the states in between as I travel. For a California Girl who doesn’t frequently travel, this has been a life changing experience as I witness many different cultures and lifestyles throughout the country. I spent time in Madisonville, TN for the Monroe County Rodeo, and I was their first ever Miss Rodeo USA to be hired for their rodeo. They truly gave me a full experience of what their community has to offer- they even got me into an exclusive grand opening of the Bald River Falls, and gave me a tour of the Lost Sea. Both places, I hadn’t even known existed!  I have even been hired by a stock contractor as a surprise for a rodeo committee, that was fun!

With gratitude and love,
