Andrea Hanson strives to live the western lifestyle every day. Growing up in northern Minnesota, resources to the rodeo world were scarce. Though other hobbies persist, as her father is widely known in the snowmobile racing community. Knowing that season was short, she was always drawn to horses as her sister with Rett Syndrome was in hippotherapy since she was a young age. When the scholarship opportunity to Dodge City Community College in Dodge City, Kansas came, she jumped on it. Moving south just a barrel racer, she worked every day to tie goats and rope calves. Concluding her time in Kansas, she continued her education at Oklahoma State University, where she will graduate in May of 2024 with a Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Communications. Hanson is passionate about college rodeo, and its impact on her life. After not having a traditional step into the rodeo world herself, she strives to share the stories of others in the industry so many call home.
