Cali Porsche Girl

I grew up alpine skiing in Colorado and started competing in downhill ski races at an early age. This difficult sport brought out a fierce competitive drive and taught me grit, resilience, a love for speed and technical analysis. I skied throughout high school and competed in world class FIS events. Although I didn't grow up around sports cars, I have always enjoyed driving. My first car was a manual five-speed Toyota 4Runner Sport that I thoroughly enjoyed driving in the mountains of Colorado. I gained critical driving skills and learned the limits of that particular vehicle off road, drifting on snow and ice, and navigating gravel mountain roads. Indoor karting was my first experience on the track and that experience changed everything. It combined all the elements I lived as a ski racer — knowing your turn apex, finding the racing line, maintaining speed — and the race karts provided their own motor. Today driving sports cars on the road and track is my passion. I enjoy the high performance element of these cars. I got my SCCA racing license, raced for a season with an endurance team in seven and twelve hour WRL races, and I spend time at the track as often as possible. Driving is my ultimate thrill, my opportunity to recharge, and simply me time. I look forward to every time I get to turn the key and drive!
