Hobbies: Racing, Shopping, Basketball,

Racing has always been a part of my life, at six
months old I was at a racetrack every weekend while
my dad was racing. As I got older, I was always
interested in working on racecars with my dad. I
was always told “Racing is not a girls
sport”, hearing this just made me want to
prove to people that girls could race too. Sports
have always been a passion of mine growing up. I
was a gymnast for 7 years, played basketball for 6
years, played volleyball for 3 years, but all of
the sports came to an abrupt halt at the age of 15.
I ended up having two hip surgeries within 9
months, which left me no choice other than to quit
playing sports and find other hobbies. I finally
had convinced my dad at the age of 21 that just
because I am a girl does not mean that I can’t
race and compete with the best. He then decided to
let me run at a local track to get some seat time.
My first year competing for points, I finished up
the season 4th in points in the Raptor class at
Dawgwood Speedway. I also won my first WKA National
at Dumplin Valley Raceway in Kodak, Tennessee,
which guaranteed my starting spot at the WKA Dirt
Nationals in Daytona Beach. My first time competing
in a Georgia state race, I qualified on the pole
and led every lap to go on and win my first
Divisional race.
