Why do you want to become Miss Supercross?
I can't think of any sport better than Supercross! There are no stronger athletes than the riders, no fans more loyal than ours, and no dirtier fields to win on. I'm super passionate about anything that has to do with a motorcycle, and I would represent the sport how it should be represented - with pride!

Any past MX/SX involvement?
I've ridden dirt bikes for 10 years and ever since I started, supercross has been my favorite sport. I haven't missed an opening night Anaheim race for years, and don't plan to in years to come!

What else do you do? What other types of things are you interested in?
Currently I'm a sophomore at Palomar College and majoring in Communication. I won a Student Emmy Award for my work in Broadcast Journalism in 2005, therefore encouraging me to pursue a full-time career in Broadcasting. I won Miss Carlsbad, CA 2006, so for the past year I've been involved in a huge amount of community service. I absolutely love the fact that I am 10 minutes away from the beach, 1 hour away from the snow, and 2 hours away from the desert - all of which I take advantage of as much as possible!

Why should fans choose you to be Miss SX 2008?
I'm no poser. I'm no fake. I'm no drama queen. I love motorcycles, and I thrive around people with the same passion. My life-long dream will come true when I'm on the podium next to the world's best riders. It's showtime!!

Favorite Rider: McGrath will always be #1 in my heart.

Favorite SX city: You can't beat opening night in Anaheim, but San Diego is the heart of desert rat land!
