The oral hygienist at Dubbo Community Dental Clinic was crowned the 2014 Bedgerabong Showgirl, a title which she said she was humbled to receive.
After a successful round at the Showgirl Zone Finals in Bathurst on Saturday, February 28, Ms Webb will be representing Zone Six at the Sydney Show, along with the Cumnock and Blayney Showgirls.
She is thought to be the first Showgirl from Bedgerabong to have qualified for the Sydney finals in more than 20 years.
From March 24, Ms Webb will be going head-to-head against 16 other bright young women across the state for the title of Sydney Royal Easter Showgirl.
Having grown up on her family property, a merino farm at Bedgerabong, Ms Webb said she hoped to live and work in rural NSW indefinitely.
"I really like the community vibe in Dubbo," Ms Webb said.
"The people really make it worth it out here."
Ms Webb said the show girl process had not been easy.
"We need to have a good idea of rural knowledge at local, state, national and international levels," she said.
With her week in Sydney fast approaching, Ms Webb said she had not given the competition much thought yet.
"It's going to hit me very suddenly," she said.
Admitting she had not attended the Sydney Royal Easter Show since she was a young girl, Ms Webb said she was excited for the experience.
"It's going to be really interesting to see all the behind-the-scenes work that goes on there too."
