In 2006, Rammell competed for the Miss Idaho USA title and won the crown on her first attempt.

Rammell was the sixth former Miss Teen USA delegate to win a Miss USA 2007 state title, and the fourth from the class of 2003 to win such a title. Rammell will now compete in the Miss USA 2007 pageant which will be broadcast live from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California on March 23, 2007.Her "sister" titleholder is Krista McNeal of Sandpoint, Miss Idaho Teen USA 2007.
Rammell created controversy following her win by declaring that she would not be photographed with Idaho governor Jim Risch because he ordered the killing of a herd of domesticated elk which had escaped her father's farm.[2] Risch later refused to apologise for this action.[3]
Rammell graduated from Madison High School in 2003[4] and is currently attending Brigham Young University-Idaho.[5] She was encouraged to enter pageants by former Miss Idaho Teen USA and Miss Idaho USA Brandi Sherwood, the only woman to have held both the Miss Teen USA and Miss USA titles.[6]
