30 Jan Bella Jensen

Bella Jensen is the 17-year-old daughter of Ty and Sarina O’Connor and Chris Jensen. She lives in Ekalaka and is a junior at Carter County High School. Bella enjoys playing on her high school volleyball team, being an active member of FFA, and 4-H where she shows steers, pigs, and sheep. During the summer when Bella isn’t on the rodeo road, she is running the grain cart during harvest and rotating cows on her family’s ranch. During Rodeo season, Bella participates in breakaway roping, barrel racing, pole bending, and goat tying. In the future, Bella plans to pursue a law degree by attending Montana State University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln before returning to her family ranch.

When asked why she wants to become MTRM, Bella states “it has been a lifetime goal”. Bella sees this opportunity to inspire younger generations to embrace and preserve the rodeo lifestyle. She hopes to be a positive influence in her community and role model to children around her.
