I started racing sitting in the stands like many girls do. My passion was and still very much so is dirt. It wasn't until the summer of 2004 when I finally pursued my racing career. My dad got me into the rookie racing league at Cameron Motorsports where I showed an ability and I loved it. It wasn't until late in the racing season at Ohsweken Speedway that my father and I heard about micro sprints. We decided to check it out and within a month we had a junior micro sprint sitting in our driveway, and my dad's pocket was $1800 lighter.

Dirt racing is a passion my dad and I share. My plans for the future are to slowly move up into mods and possibly race with SOS(Southern Ontario Sprints) one day. I just want all the young girls out there who have dreams, pursue them and be all you can be.
