Reagan’s personal life was anchored by a beautiful love story that came to a tragic and untimely interruption. On December 30, 2023, Reagan married the love of her life, Collin Cass, in a ceremony surrounded by family and lifelong friends.

Deep Roots in West Texas Agricultural Education
Reagan’s elite professional capability was engineered through an exceptional academic foundation. She possessed a rare dual-literacy in both animal physiology and high-level corporate economics, allowing her to speak the unique languages of both the cattle rancher and the bank board member.
Texas Tech University
Reagan began her formal pursuit of agricultural excellence at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. Attending from 2016 to 2019, she earned her undergraduate credentials focusing heavily on Animal Science and Agribusiness/Agricultural Business Operations. At Texas Tech, she was known as an industrious, focused student who deeply immersed herself in the realities of the Texas cattle and livestock sectors, building a stellar baseline for her subsequent analytical career.
West Texas A&M University College of Business
To elevate her strategic management capability, Reagan enrolled in the West Texas A&M University College of Business in Canyon. Balancing professional responsibilities with grueling academic schedules, she successfully graduated in May 2022 with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. Her graduate studies refined her expertise in asset valuation, macroeconomic agricultural forecasting, and corporate risk management, cementing her status as a rising leader in regional finance.
A Stellar Career in Agricultural and Commercial Finance
Reagan’s professional trajectory was a fast-tracked ascent through the premier financial institutions of the Texas Panhandle. She consistently proved herself to be an invaluable asset to every underwriting team she joined.
