What inspires you to compete?
I enjoy the true competition BMX brings. Knowing that I have the ability and skill to become one of the best female riders in the country always inspires me to train harder and stay positive. I am a professional rider looking to make the 2012 Olympic Team as top BMX female rider.
Some Personal Information About Me:
Away from my life at the track, I am a Senior in high school in Fort Worth, Texas. I am an A honor role student and a member of the elite Haltom Harmony Choir. My role in this choir allows me to participate in many community service events, such as performing at nursing homes and childrens hospitals. I am also in the Fine Arts Theater. I have performed in musicals such as, Throughly Modern Millie, All in the Timing, Cover of Life, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Singin' in the Rain and Chemical Bonding. I was also featured in Once on this Island at Casa Manana Theater and Little Shop of Horrors at Bass Hall. When I am not performing, I love to spend time with friends, going shopping and listening to music.
Describe your style...
My style is very unique. I pride myself on being a positive role model to other riders and fans. I love to have fun. As far as my riding and training style go, I am "focused on the prize."
