April 22nd - 25th 2026

I have dedicated my life to all things agriculture.
Starting at just four years old, I began competing in the Pineywoods Youth Rodeo Association.

However, as I got older and more involved, I found my passion in 4-H and raising marking hogs, market lambs, and beef heifers. I am now a ten-year member of Angelina County 4-H Blue Ribbon Club and a four-year member of Lufkin FFA. I have held many leadership and officer positions in both organizations, and this year I am our current 4-H club President and FFA Treasurer. Both
organizations have helped me grow into the strong and confident person I am today.

I have been afforded many amazing opportunities through 4-H and FFA, including competing annually with my animals at our Angelina County Youth Fair, serving as a County Fair Ambassador, travelling all over Texas competing at the major livestock shows with my hogs and heifers, and participating in many FFA career and leadership development events. There is one major opportunity that i started participating in when it began in 2019 and that is my involvement in Reach for the Stars. Reach for the Stars was started as an opportunity for special needs children in Angelina County to compete in our County Fair. I have been involved in this group since its inception, helping the kids grow in their own confidence, teaching them how to handle the show animals, and celebrating with them as they receive their prizes after they have taken their turns in the show ring.
