As the 2009 Aide to Girl of the West and this year’s Girl of the West, Jessica enjoys meeting many wonderful people of Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region while promoting the sport she loves. The Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo will always hold a special place in her heart because the Rodeo gives all of its proceeds back to the community by helping military families in the Colorado Springs area.
