Megan Terrell
Laramie
Summary
I grew up on a ranch in Medicine Bow, Wyoming, where I developed a strong work ethic, practical livestock skills, and a deep commitment to agriculture. From training colts and fixing fence to assisting with calving, doctoring cattle, and working both cow-calf and yearling operations, I have gained extensive hands-on ranch experience over the past five years. I served as a rodeo princess from 2019–2021, representing the western lifestyle at public events and strengthening my communication and outreach skills. In FFA, I competed at a high level—qualifying for Nationals in Horse Judgingas a sophomore, earning Reserve Champion in Creed Speaking, and participating in Prepared Speaking and Agricultural Issues events. I am also actively involved in my community, volunteering at the soup kitchen during the summer and spending time with residents at my town’s assisted living home. These experiences have shaped me into a hardworking, dependable, and community-minded individual with strong communication, leadership, and hands-on agricultural abilities.
