What are three words you would use to describe yourself? *

Women Empowering Eachother

What is your greatest skill or ability? What do you pride yourself on?

My versatility and creativity. I have been told I’m a “Jack of Many Trades”

What is the quality that sets you apart from others?

I think everyone has something special that makes them shine; I just try to be a good human, the world needs more of that. 🫶

What motivates you?

An open road with no boundries. There’s a lot to be said about a cross country motorcycle ride. Some of my most intellectual thoughts and dreams are generated as I lay tread on the beautiful roads that pave our country.

What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend?

Creating art and cranking the throttle.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be and how would you use it?

I would give everyone more time; We are only given so much and it’s the one thing in life money cannot buy.

What’s the craziest thing on your bucket list?

In 2022, I rode the lower 48 states solo with my beloved dog Tator. Together, we covered 13,528 miles in 26 days.

Do you prefer to ride on the back of a bike or to ride your own, and why?

I have been riding motorcycles for as long as I have been a nurse; 16 years. Having my own motorcycle has taught me strength, confidence, and independence; But most importantly introduced me to a comunity that has become a second family.

What is your favorite band/performer who has played at the Buffalo Chip?

Too many to count, I’m looking forward to Collective Soul this year.

What are you bringing to the Buffalo Chip that you could not leave home without?

What are you looking forward to most about the Buffalo Chip experience this year?

This year I am celebrating my Bachlorette Party at the Chip. Instead of buying me a shot, come get your bike washed by the beautiful babes of the International Bikini Team. 👙🏍😘

Why do you want to be Miss Buffalo Chip?

I was beyond blessed to be the 2023 poster model representing a place that has become my second home. I am forever greatful to the Buffalo Chip and Woodruff family.

I have already had my time to shine and I really just want to see my friends win at life.

That being said, I would give the title to all the beautiful ladies on the International Bikini Team.
