Elizabeth Anseth
2010 Miss Montana USA
"All our dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."Walt Disney
Even as a little girl, Elizabeth "Annie" Anseth was a dreamer. When she was a pre-schooler, she dreamed of being a model. Much to father, Alan, and older brother, Andrew’s dismay, she would change her clothes multiple times a day – not because she got dirty, but because she just felt like wearing something else!
About the same time, Annie dreamed of being a dancer. She started dancing at age three and immediately fell in love with performing and being on stage. Annie continued to dance through her high school years learning tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical and ballet. She performed a number of solos during competitions and often brought home trophies.
When she started school, Annie dreamed of being a good student. Learning was fun - especially when she got to show her mom, Sandy, her superior grades. Annie continued to study hard and excel in the classroom graduating from Billings Senior High with honors and an academic scholarship to college.
Annie dreamed of being a cheerleader in high school. She could be found at sporting events at Billings Senior High School leading cheers, jumping, flipping and flying high into the air.
On September 6th, 2009, Annie realized another dream, when she was crowned Miss Montana USA on her first time competing in this pageant. Surrounded by family and friends she was proud to also receive the Community Service Award.
Currently, Annie, a sophomore at Rocky Mountain College, is pursuing her dream of teaching, like her mother, as she majors in elementary education. She is involved as a student ambassador, a cheerleader and winner of the Newcomer Student Award. She also continues her dream of making all students aware of bullying as she promotes the International "Stood Up Day."
Annie’s dreams have now been enlarged to being the best Miss Montana USA she can be. She looks forward to traveling around Montana sharing her dreams and encouraging others to pursue theirs.
