As Miss Rodeo America, Tierney will travel to events around the country serving as an ambassador for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. During a press conference shortly after she was crowned, Tierney said she’s most looking forward to attending a Sutton Rodeo event in South Dakota.

Tierney won the crown in a field of 27 contestants. She was awarded a $20,000 Educational Scholarship from the Miss Rodeo America Scholarship Foundation.
