James grew up in Oliver with her parents, a brother and a sister. She has lived with horses all of her life, and her inspiration to choose the sport of Rodeo started with her grandparents. Her father coached her, as well as broke and trained the horses that she has learned on.

She claims that to be a successful Rodeo queen you must be passionate, determined, and responsible.
