Why do you want to become Miss Supercross? I feel that I am defiantly someone who could fill the shoes Brittany has left for Miss SX 2008, and be a positive image, like her, to the sport. I love the races, dedicated fans, and feel I have the personality to leave a lasting impression on the fans, riders, and people I meet at the races.
Any past MX/SX Involvement? I was Miss Supercross Atlanta in 2005, and have worked with Butterfinger and Amp'd Mobile in the pits. I am now traveling with Leo Vince Exhausts to many of the SX races, helping out with marketing, hospitality, and signing posters.
What else do you do? What other types of things are you interested in? I work as a model at events and tradeshows throughout the US, and am working on finishing my degree in Marketing at the University of GA. I love traveling and making new friends. I also travel with the AMA Road Racing series, which is a lot of fun. I am a big tomboy and love doing anything that doesn’t involve drama. I am also interested in making a ton of money one day, and plan on being very successful at something soon!
Why should fans choose you to be Miss SX 2008? I have always had an interest in motor sports, and a definite fan of the SX series. I would use this opportunity in the best possible way to connect with fans, and make people want to come back to Supercross the next year. And if you ever meet me, I am true to the things I have said in this bio.
Favorite Rider: I love a lot of different things about different riders, but Carmichael isn't called the GOAT for nothing - he is great with fans and a perfect image for the sport!
Favorite SX city: San Francisco is awesome because it is outdoors, unlike Atlanta, and overlooks the water.
