"Success is a decision."
I got my first dirt bike when I was 4, a PW-50 - I was hooked and have been riding ever since! When I was 6 my dad entered me into my first race, a NORCS off-road hare- scrabble. I liked the competition so we decided to race the entire series the following year. My dad bought me a clean KTM 50SX that year and I’ve been racing KTMs from that point on. I raced the 8 and under class and finished 2nd overall my first season. I came back the following year, my last in 8U, and won the class. The following season, NORCS started a girls class and I was able to win that overall as well. After my two championship wins in girls class, we decided to move to short course. I raced short course on my KTM 85. I ended up doing pretty my first year in women’s class with an overall finish of 4th! Each year I would seek a new challenge and push myself to be better and faster. I am beyond grateful for the support that my parents, family, and friends have given me to be able to race all these years. In 2024 I will be race NHHA, SIDRA, NORCS, and AMA West series races in the women’s B class. I am excited to be racing in Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
When I’m not training or racing my ‘23 KTM 125 XC you can find me at our local CrossFit gym, running track for my school, playing volleyball (‘22 conference champs!, competing in IFSA Freeride ski comps, surfing out on the lake, playing club volleyball, or riding snowmobiles with my dad!
