Faith Johnson's journey into the world of pageantry began in 2016 when she won the prestigious title of Miss Montana's (Outstanding) Teen in her very first attempt. Her story is one of determination, talent, and a heart dedicated to making a difference. An actress since the age of 4, Faith's love for theater has always been a driving force in her life. She pursued her passion for understanding people by earning a degree in psychology and sociology from Montana State University, maintaining a 3.95gpa.

Her passions extend beyond the stage and academia. She has a deep love for art, a fierce enthusiasm for hunting, and an unwavering commitment to family values. Her Montana roots run deep, and her pride in being a born-and-raised Montanan shines through in her advocacy and actions. Faith's Social Impact Initiative, "W.I.L.D. Life: Wilderness Inheritance, Land and Diversity" is a testament to her dedication to preserving the natural beauty of Montana. Faith is not just a pageant queen; she's a fearless advocate for keeping Montana wild, accessible, and thriving. She’s a girlie girl with a passion for getting her hands dirty, the embodiment of strength and grace, and she’s determined to make a lasting impact on her beloved state.
