Emma Brown, 22, is proud to represent her hometown as the Payson Pro Rodeo Queen. Born and raised in Payson, Arizona, she was brought up on ranching and agricultural values that shaped her deep love for the western way of life and the sport of rodeo.

 

Her platform motto is, “Lead with a smile” because as Dolly Parton said, ‘If you see someone without a smile, give them yours.’ It’s a simple way to carry yourself, but it leaves a lasting mark. Whether you’re in the arena, at work, or out in the community. A smile goes a long way, and it’s something you can give freely every single day.

 

When she’s not carrying the crown, Emma works as a dental assistant at Payson Premier Dental, where she truly enjoys helping her community feel confident in their smiles. Outside of work, she spends her time barrel racing and participating in gymkhanas with her horse Zippy, she also loves helping on the family ranch gathering cows and caring for their many animals.
