How long have you been competing in your sport? What got you into it?!
As a female in this industry, what are some challenges you face?
Constant downplaying, there are so many people looking to put females down while racing not only against other women but especially against men. Also one of the biggest challenges is getting the recognition and exposure as a female rider. To help grow the sport and bring the same sponsors as men get to the female side!
What are some of your other Hobbies?!
How were you introduced to Off Road Vixens?
I saw their clothing at an event when I was just starting in racing. They had a pink sweatshirt and I loved it. Since then I have been fortunate enough to be a sponsored athlete.
What are your Short Term and Long Term Goals?
Long term goal is to become the youngest female professional ATV rider in the country.
What are some of your accomplishments?
What is your favorite thing about competing in your sport?
Where do you see yourself in this industry in 5 years?
I see myself competing for national championships as a professional rider. If that doesn’t work out I plan on either working for one of the companies that has sponsored my racing so I am still involved with the sport and am able to still race and enjoy the entire race family!
