How I got started

I started riding at the age of 8. My dad bought me a KTM 65, I started out just putting around in a field until I got used to shifting gears. When I felt comfortable shifting, I started practicing on my track learning how to go threw the whoops, double jumping, cornering, and learning what line I needed to pick. Then I decided I wanted to try and race. My 1st race was on June 7.2001. I placed 10th out of 22 riders. From there on I have been involved in racing and enjoy competing every weekend

Goals for the Future

My goals for 2010 are to qualify for Loretta Lynn`s and attend as many national events that I can. To train hard and learn what it takes to become the best I can be.

Why do you like this sport?

I love this sport because I like the feeling knowing my accomplishments are all based on my own individual results. I like pulling on the gate and my adrenaline starts pumping knowing that at any second the gate will drop and the race is on. This sport also keeps me in great physical shape and also helps in giving myself confidence.

Some Personal Information About Me:

I am 17 yrs old. I attend Hempfield Senior High and I am currently in 11th grade. I like school and I do pretty good my grades are always A`s and B`s and I make honor roll. I am very friendly and outgoing. I am the type of girl that likes to look nice, but I am not afraid to get down and dirty. I like to play any kind of sport, and I am always welling to give something new to me a try. I like spending my time with my family, they are all very important role models in my life. I also like going to my grandparents farm and helping them take care of their animals and just spending time with them

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

I live in Pa so the weather does not always cooperate. During the fall while school is in I try to practice at least 3 days a week. In the winter we travel to Ohio at least 1 time a week to practice in an indoor facility. Over the summer I practice at least 3 days a week and race on the weekends. This year I am going to try and race more National events. Over Thanksgiving I am going to compete in the Mini Olympics in Florida

Why do you compete?

I like to compete, because I want to be the best I can possibly be. I currently race against the boys in my district and this helps me in improving my racing skills. At first it was alittle intimidating knowing when I pull up on the gate and there are 20 or so riders I am usually the only girl. I feel this has given me more self confidence in myself knowing I can hold my own up against the boys.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I would love to become a professional motocross racer, and I am going to try my hardest to make this happen. I am still young and if Mx racing would not work out I am not sure at this time what I would like to become. I will still study hard and do well in school, so I know I always have the opportunity to go on to college and get a degree in something
