Liza Tough

Navigator

An adventurous and compassionate woman that is supported and loved completely by my husband of 25 years, two amazing children and 4 grandchildren. I have found a passion for all things off-roading and most of all passionate for the Rebelle and my Rebelle Family.

Occupation:

Bookkeeper/Photographer

Residence:

West Kelowna, BC Canada

Favorite Quote:

"Courage Over Perfection" Team Fast 'N Curious Offroad

Fun Fact:

I didn't start driving offroad until 2018 when I met Emily Miller and took the ladies only driving course at BCOR. I was hooked!

Why the Rebelle? Why now?

I have competed as the driver for CanToy Divas in 2020 & 2021. This year I am taking on the new challenge as Navigator. I am stepping completely out of my comfort zone and have worked hard to gain navigation skills. I look forward to the growth this year will bring.

Who, or what, inspires you most?

There are three women that inspire me and shaped the person I am today. Emily Miller, Amy Hopkins and Kendra Miller. Meeting these women back in 2018 honestly changed my life. They encouraged me and helped me believe in myself, that I was more capable than I thought. They started my passion for off-roading and competing in the Rebelle.
