For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a cowgirl due to their fierce independence and dogged pursuit of excellence.

While I’m an Oklahoma State University Cowboy by degree, a cattleman’s wife by marriage and horse girl by nature — being a cowgirl in my heart and vocation was and is always my goal.

Having said that, I’m honored and humbled to be recognized in the #COWGIRL30Under30 Class of 2022.

To my fellow women celebrated in the past, to those in my class and to the women who will continue to be inducted — we’ve got this.

Thank you to COWGIRL Magazine for the continued championing of women in western, and to The Cowboy Channel, Wrangler, Montana Silversmiths, Durango Boots, Charlie 1 Horse and Cavender's for your continued support.
