Who/what inspired you to get onto a dirtbike and how long have you been racing/riding?
What inspired me is going to the track most weekends and watching my brother race. My brother is very passionate about the sport and watching him and his encouragement made me want to try my skills on the big track. I have been riding for 2 years and raced a little at OCMC and the tykes class at AMO races. With Walton having the Shaft Drive class it made me really excited to make a step onto the big track being able to ride what I am most comfortable on PW50.
When not on a dirt bike, how do you keep yourself busy? Are you involved in any other sports or extracurricular activities?
I currently go to a gymnastics club every week and swimming lessons.
As a racer, are there any obstacles you feel a female racer has to deal with that maybe a male racer does not?
The biggest obstacle is making it around the track faster every lap.
From your first ride to where you are now what is something you never thought you would be able to overcome but have?
I have only raced on the big track twice; one being the Walton TransCan National and the Baja Brawl. I never thought that I was able to get around a big track by myself.
Who is your all-time favourite rider and why?
My big brother is my idol. My favourite pro rider is Hunter Lawrence.
What is your favourite track and why?
So far, my favourite track is Walton Raceway. I love the facility and the track.
What event do you look forward to most every year? What’s one you don’t ever want to miss?
Walton; I enjoy the atmosphere, the track and the time spent with my family and friends.
Who has been your biggest inspiration/hero on and off the track?
My brother. I look up to my brother so much and bonding with him over the sport.
I want to be a motocross racer, but my mom says I’m going to be a lawyer.

Do you have any pre-race rituals?
I typically love to give my parents a hard time getting all my gear on, specifically my knee pads and gloves.
What are your plans for this upcoming season? Any specific events you’re looking forward to?
I don’t have any specific plans or goals. I am very excited to ride and race anywhere.
What are your biggest accomplishments to date?
Qualifying for the Baja Brawl in the 50cc Shaft class was a great experience for me.
What is the biggest lesson that racing has taught you so far?
I am not sure yet. I am still trying to understand the sport and technique.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I plan to be racing at the front of the pack with the boys.
Are there any females out there who you feel have paved the way for other girls to be successful in motocross or off road?
Raycin Kyler is the currently one of the fastest girls on the planet on mini bikes.
If you could give 1 piece of advice to a female of any age who wants to start riding, what would it be?
Being scared is ok, try your best and have fun.
What was your first race number and how did you choose it?
548. My brother and dad use that number, so I wanted it too.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I want to be a motocross racer, but my mom says I’m going to be a lawyer.
Who would you like to thank?
I would like to thank my mom for being my mechanic and my brother and dad for supporting me and cheering me on.
