What are three words you’d use to describe yourself?
All natural beauty
What is your greatest skill or ability? What do you pride yourself on?
I take pride in the fact that I can do anything I set my mind to. I’ve always been very optimistic in that sense. I’d consider that one of my greatest skills is that and I’m a “jack of all trades” which comes in handy in more ways than you’d think.
What is the quality that sets you apart from others?
I’m a very personable person and can talk to anyone like I’ve known them for years.
What motivates you?
Something that motivates me is my family and friends, they keep me heading in the direction I need to be.
What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend?
This was a tie between being in the water or taking care of my many plants in my garden, those two scenarios make me the most happy.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and how would you use it?
One superpower I’d love to have is to be able to travel through time. It would be phenomenal to get to meet and talk with people like Edgar Allan Poe or Leonardo Da Vinci!
What’s the craziest thing on your bucket list?
Nothing too overly crazy, I want to travel all over the world!
Do you prefer to ride on the back of a bike or to ride your own, and why?
I don’t have my own yet, but I will make the best backpack you’ll ever have! Being a “professional backpack” is the best because I can hold the rider close to me.
What is your favorite band/performer who has played at the Buffalo Chip?
My personal favorites so far (in no particular order): Papa Roach, Hollywood Undead, Chevelle, and Foreigner!
What are you bringing to the Buffalo Chip that you could not leave home without?
My emotional support sunglasses
What are you looking forward to most about the Buffalo Chip experience this year?
Getting together with all of the Buffalo Chip staff, it’s like a big family reunion with all of us troublemakers and we always have a blast at the BEST PARTY ANYWHERE!
Why do you want to be Miss Buffalo Chip?
I want to be Miss Buffalo Chip 2024 because I feel it’s such a great honor to represent the Chip wherever I go. To possibly win it again this year is such an amazing thought!
If you have been before, what’s your favorite memory from a past Sturgis rally?
This will be my 6th year at the Buffalo Chip! My favorite memories are when we just get finished with the bikini competitions and are all trying to hurry to get changed into regular clothes to party at club chip or bikini beach with the winners from that night (with our walking tacos because we’re starving).
If you could ride with any influential person in history, who would it be and why?
I’d choose Clara Barton, known as the “Angel of the Battlefield.” Her bravery in helping wounded soldiers on and off the battlefield during the Civil War is such an inspiration! I’d love to be able to get a chance to talk with her about everything she experienced and felt in those moments.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
I would like to go to Italy! I’ve always loved their architecture, culture, and of course the food!
What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?
I’ve gone to a nude beach before, it actually very freeing and I totally recommend it!
If you could have any superpower for a day, what would it be and how would you use it?
I wish I could be able to read minds for a day, I think that would be really interesting! I’d use it to benefit myself and the people around me.
What’s your favorite type of music and who’s your favorite artist?
My favorite type of music is difficult to narrow down, I listen to a lot of genres, but if I needed to pick it would be hard rock/metal.
What’s your go-to karaoke song?
Right now I’d say it’s “Hysteria” or “Circle with Me” by Spirit Box.
