Fav rider: Ken Roczen!
Fav memory from racing: Honestly every time I ride is my favourite memory, but the times I think about the most is a few years ago during nationals. I had the worst luck for all 3 rounds, but I always seemed to kill myself just to get up to the top again and I always did, even if I was last! At the last Women’s National at Castrol Raceway, I ended up getting the Hard Changer Award! I couldn’t have been more happy with myself for never ever giving up!

Fav Memory from racing: There is a ton! I’d have to go with winning Mini O’s in 2011 because it was my very first U.S. Amateur title.
Fav quote: “Pin it to win it” My dad has said this to me before every race since day 1, and it’s true!
Goals for 2016: I don’t know for sure what my plans are and what races I’ll be doing but I want to win Wal-ton in Women’s and Junior, as well as win Women’s 14+ and be at the top of the C class at Loretta Lynn’s.
