Megan Kelly - Miss Rodeo USA 2025
Born and raised in Ramona, California, Megan is a proud alumnus of Ramona High School. From a young age, she was deeply involved in her community, starting with 4-H at just six years old. Her passion for the place that shaped her led her to compete in my first pageant at 13, an experience that was both humbling and inspiring. At 15, she had the honor of being crowned Teen Miss Ramona 2015, an achievement that sparked her desire to stay connected and give back to her community. A few years later, she represented again as Miss Ramona 2018, further deepening her commitment to serve her town. These experiences inspired her to take on leadership roles, including serving as vice president of the Ramona FFA Chapter, where she was able to mentor others and contribute to the community that had always
supported her.
In 2020, she combined her passion for rodeo and love of her community by competing in her first rodeo queen pageant. She was honored to be crowned Miss Bulls Only Rodeo 2020/2021. After her reign, she was invited to join the Bulls Only Rodeo Committee as the official emcee, coach, and mentor; roles she has proudly held for the past three years. During this time, she has guided countless young women through their journey to becoming rodeo queens while helping them develop lifelong skills. Additionally, she continued to support the 678 Scholarship Pageant, coaching young ladies and recently emceeing the Miss Ramona pageant.
In 2022, she graduated from California State University, San Marcos, and soon after launched her own real estate business. A licensed realtor in California, she has the flexibility to continue her community involvement. Thanks to the unwavering support of her community, she had the privilege of competing for Miss Rodeo USA in 2023, where she placed second runner-up. This experience taught her that making a difference doesn’t require a crown, and she remains committed to mentoring aspiring rodeo queens in areas such as stage presence, public speaking, and interview skills.
Competing for a national rodeo queen title demands a broad range of knowledge and skills, many of which have been developed through various leadership roles and experiences since childhood. Megan feels that she owes much of her growth to the mentors and coaches who have guided her, which inspired her to create her official platform, "Mission: Mentorship". This platform emphasizes the importance of investing in youth and encourages experienced individuals to mentor the next
generation.
As Miss Rodeo USA 2025, she will travel across the nation to promote the sport of rodeo, the International Professional Rodeo Association (IPRA), her platform, and the numerous sponsors and affiliates. She will participate in events, rodeos, school visits, and other activities, throughout the United States, while also having the opportunity to visit Canada and her hometown rodeos.
None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of the Bulls Only Rodeo Committee, the Lakeside Optimist Club, the 678 Scholarship Pageant, her sponsors, family, friends, and countless community members. Competing at the national level is a surreal experience that takes a village, and she will forever be grateful for the love and encouragement she has received throughout her journey.
