5 Questions We Asked and She Answered:

1. How did you develop a passion for cars and/or motorsports?
Growing up in Southern California, I was always outside on my bicycle or scooter ripping around in the street. My Dad rode dirt bikes when he was younger and suggested it when were around 10 years old. Right away, my twin sister and I were interested and for our 11th birthday we got our first dirt bike. Since then, my addiction with motorsports began!

2. What advice do you have for people who want to break into the motorsports and auto industry?
My advice to those looking to get into the industry, would be to find like minded people who can help mentor you and show you the ‘ins and outs’ of the motorsports world.

3. If you could drive any car, what would it be and why?
I really love the timeless look of the 1992 Porsche 911. The old school look combined with the turbo power is really the whole package! I cant pick just one, so I might add the Ford Bronco to the list also! Now I have something to take off road too.

4. If you could attend any car/motorsports event in the world, which would you choose? Why?
I’ve recently dived into the drifting world. I own a 1996 BMW E36 drift car and have been going to the track often. Being a beginner in that world has really made me fascinated with watching some of the pro drift competitions, so I’d say any drift comp would sweet!

5. What’s the most exciting car event/race you’ve ever attended?
I drove for Monster Jam and to be a part of such a crazy event is really cool. When people come to watch these 1200 pound machines with 1500 horsepower, its an event you can FEEL!
