1. How did you get your start in racing?

When I was 7 years old, my dad, who raced before me took me to the WQMA in Monroe Washington. I immediately fell in love with the sport, and shortly after I got a quarter-midget.

2. How did you get your number?

That was an easy decision, both my dad and grandfather raced before me running the 68. So as a third-generation racer in my family, I had to continue running the number.

3. Who is your biggest inspiration?

My dad, he’s so knowledgeable and the mentality he’s passed on to me throughout my racing career I cherish it a lot. I have always looked up to him and strived to have the work ethic and integrity that he has.

4. You drive the 10,000th U.S. Legend Cars International Chassis ever made, what was it like finding that out and how does it feel to be a part of Legend Car history?

It’s an honor. Having my name tied in INEX history is amazing, being able to pilot this car shows me the support from people that believe in me. INEX is such an incredible sanction and I’m super grateful for the opportunity.

5. You competed at the Winter Showdown in Florida earlier this year. What was that experience like? How did you enjoy the competition of a national event?

It was an awesome experience, growing up on the west coast, being able to compete on the east coast was definitely different. The drivers are different, and I got to race with 860 Motorsports, which was a great experience too. I want to represent Washington the best I can on the east coast where there is so much racing.

6. What is your favorite racing memory?

Probably my first podium finish and first time on a tri-oval at the Mission Valley Super Oval, the atmosphere there and the fans was a great experience, and I definitely learned a lot.

7. What is your favorite track to race at?

The Bullring in Las Vegas, it’s a really cool track that you can carry a lot of momentum and its just super fun to race on.

8. What is unique about racing on the west coast?

The west coast is a different kind of driving style, and the tracks are different too. On the east coast the driving style is a lot more physical, where on the west coast it’s a lot of getting around others. It’s a different mentality that you have to go into for races.

9. You come from a family of race car drivers, how do you think that has helped you grow your own skills, and how do you think that helps your approach to each race?

It helps me grow a lot for sure. I try to take in as much knowledge from them that I can and use it to the best of my ability.

10. How do you measure success while racing?

Making sure I acquire new knowledge and grow my skills while utilizing every lap that I get on the track and getting another step closer to chasing my dreams.

11. What are your racing goals for 2026?

I want to defend the Washington state championship title and be the first women at Evergreen speedway. I also want to get some time in a late model.

12. If you could race at any track in the world, what would it be?

Charlotte Motor Speedway. North Carolina is the hub for racing, and seeing all my idols race there would be such a great experience.

13. What's the biggest lesson that racing has taught you in life? 

Patience and work ethic. Putting in time off the track thats unseen from the public eye has shown me that you get out what you put in.
