Who/what inspired you to get onto a dirt bike and how long have you been racing/riding?
I watched my dad ride when I was younger and I would always ask to sit on his bike until my parents got me a PW50 at the age of 4 and I begged to ride every day around the house. I started racing when I was 8 years old and never looked back!
What are your biggest accomplishments to date?
Winning a championship. I won the AMO OPC Ladies B Championship last year, one year earlier than I was planning on racing in this category and it was my favourite season so far.
When not on a dirt bike how do you keep yourself busy? Are you involved in any other sports or extracurricular activities?
I love to be on my bike whenever I can but when I’m not I like to ski, BMX, collect vintage Pokemon cards and I am currently working on completing the belt system in Karate.
What is your favourite track and why?
My favourite track is Gopher Dunes because I love the sand and the jumps and it brings back old memories of my earlier racing days.
Who is your all-time favourite rider and why?
Eve Brodeur because she accomplished so much and she is always so kind to everyone and she once gave me her winning plaque after getting off the podium.
What event do you look forward to most every year? What’s one you don’t ever want to miss?
ECAN because they have fun events during the week and good competition in my category.
If you could give 1 piece of advice to a female of any age who wants to start riding what would it be?
No matter what happens on and off the track, never give up.
What was your first race number and how did you choose it?
66. My mom and I picked it the night before my first race at a hardware store because they were the coolest looking number stickers we could find at the store and It’s been my number since. lol.
Do you see yourself ever competing in the Canadian WMX Triple Crown series?
Yes, and I can’t wait!
What do you want to be when you grow up?
If I don’t make it into the Supercross. I will travel around in a camper van collecting vintage Pokemon cards and racing anywhere I can.
