Why do you want to become Miss Supercross? 
As a young girl racing, I would look up at Miss Supercross as a role model and could only wish to one day be in "her shoes."  The motorcycle industry is one that allows families to come together and enjoy an amazing sport.  Having the opportunity to represent a sport such as this, with good family morals, is a dream come true.  More than anything being able to represent as a role model to the supercross fans and young women is something that is very honorable to me.  

Any past MX/SX Involvement?
From the age of 10 - 17 I raced motocross, only for it to be ended after a serious knee injury.  After the injury I chose to commit my time to the motocross/supercross industry, on the business side, rather than the "racer" side.   I have worked as a trophy girl with Ohlins Suspension, and also with Toyota ,” The official truck of supercross", as a consultant for their privateer program.  If I wasn't racing, I was always attending an event as a spectator for about 9 years now and I wouldn't have it any different.

What else do you do? What other types of things are you interested in?
Aside from racing motocross I also love to try other extreme sports like BMX, water skiing and snow boarding.  On a more "girly" note I really enjoy modeling and dancing.  Staying athletic is really important to me, so I’m always trying new things to keep me on my toes.  

Why should fans choose you to be Miss SX 2008?
With my background as a former racer, I would tell the fans, by choosing me for Miss Supercross 2008 you are not only choosing a pretty face, but someone who knows much about the sport and can really relate to the die hard fans and racers. Racing is more than just a sport to me; it's a family away from home, a life style!
