Meet Miss Buffalo Chip 2009 - A hard-working mid western woman with more than winning beauty pageants on her mind.

As a three year veteran of the Chip and former Miss Montana USA, she quickly became a fan favorite and the judges top contestant. Not Just Miss Buffalo Chip ....
(taken from Miss Montana online. )Misti is an engineering student, US Army Veteran, professional snowboard instructor, and passionate volunteer. She is an over achiever, bad speller, and grammatical error maker. She is an entrepreneur, dreamer, adventurer, dancer, singer, and lyricist. She absolutely loves to cook, barbeque, and invent new recipes. She loves NFL Sunday, supreme pizza, and fresh powder. She is a daughter, granddaughter, great-grand daughter, sister, and a friend. Misti is filled with passion, persistence, and perseverance. It's not that she can't decide what to do it's that she want to do it all.
Now, from where she is today, it is difficult to explain the adventures she has taken on without sharing her life in details.
In 2003, when she was just 17 years old, she joined the US Army. She joined as a junior in high school and completed basic training before she was a senior in High School. She came home and graduated early in order to continue training. She was an Intel and Imagery analyst. Her experience could not be replaced or substituted; she was given the opportunity to save lives, stand and salute for our country, and of course persevere.
After her Army career, she was anxious to come home to Montana. She got a job at a local bank and quickly moved up into the loan department. This was not her passion. She resigned from her position and enrolled in college. She is now studying to be a biomedical engineering student. She hopes to design and engineer prosthetics. She also instructs snowboarding at Whitefish Mountain Resort.
Misti has a big heart and logical thinking. She knows she will make a difference whether it is one person, a community, or the world. Her ideas for the year are derived from a quote by Gandhi, "We must be the change we wish to see in the world."
