As a fifth-generation Montanan, I’ve built a life around real estate, photography, and storytelling—all while running on caffeine and a dream. Between selling properties, creating content for brands, and coaching a youth livestock judging team, I stay busy doing what I love. My photography and Western content took off on TikTok, turning into a full-blown business and landing my work with COWGIRL Magazine, Montana Silversmiths, Colostrx, Working Ranch Magazine, and even Cody Johnson. Now, I’m that girl from the internet—getting recognized in Montana, Texas, and beyond.

When I’m not closing deals or editing photos, you’ll find me working cattle, soaking up everything this great state has to offer, or sipping a margarita while blasting red dirt country. And if there’s an old rope horse for sale? You better believe I’m scheming. My ever-growing turquoise collection is my addiction worthy of sending me to a "Collector Anonymous" support group.

Montana isn’t just where I live—it’s who I am. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just here for the Western content, you’re in the right place.

My favorite things

Livestock judging took me from county fairs to national competitions and an undefeated streak in Montana for over two years. Now, I get to pass it on by coaching the Flathead Livestock Judging program—traveling the state with my “kids” (who are usually taller than me and get mistaken for my teammates instead of my team). From early mornings to fast-food stops and plenty of laughs in between, there’s nothing better than watching them grow, compete, and make memories just like I did!

01. Livestock Judging

Forget diamonds—this girl loves turquoise. The bigger, the bolder, the better. My collection is a mix of handmade Native pieces and family heirlooms passed down from my grandma, each with its own story. No mass-produced stuff here—just authentic silver and stones that have survived branding pens, backroad adventures, and a whole lot of good stories.

02. Turquoise Jewelry

If I’m not in Montana, I’m probably in Texas. The country music’s better, the cowboys actually dance, and the vibe is just elite. Oh, and the margaritas? Life-changing. I even bought a cooler and drove 25 hours home with gallons of frozen margs just to keep the magic alive in the 406!

03. Vacays to Texas

Speaking of dancing—play a good Red Dirt country song, and I’m already spinning. Honky-tonk, wedding, or a kitchen two-step—I’m always down for a swing dance. And for someone who trips over air, I can still pull off all the spins and flips like a pro!
