9TH RALLY EDITION: OCTOBER 10 – 19, 2024

#148

Team 148

Anna and Lisa are pairing up together for the first time, Anna as a three time Rebelle who placed in the top ten twice, and Lisa as an excited rookie! They first met in 2018 at an Overland Bound event where they bonded over their love of Toyotas and offroading. Fun fact: Anna and Lisa happen to have the same wedding anniversary and both celebrated 10 years of marriage to their husbands in August! Lisa grew up loving the outdoors as a girl scout, going backpacking and camping with her family. After marrying her husband, they both fell down the rabbit hole into the off-road world and Lisa has been hooked ever since! From driving fast in the desert, to making her way through boulders, to finding that perfect campsite down some long dirt road, Lisa enjoys off-roading as a time to be with friends from wildly different backgrounds, who share the same love of adventure, vehicles, and dirt as she does. Lisa learns something new on each trip or challenge she encounters which only adds to the fulfillment she finds in overcoming obstacles and problem solving vehicle issues. She can’t wait to experience the challenges the Rebelle will throw her way for the first time! Anna also grew up with a love for the outdoors and was also a girl scout. She and her husband started offroading together in 2014 and have loved all types of terrain ever since. Anna is excited to try her navigation skills in this year’s Rebelle Rally, which is new since she has been the sole driver in her previous years.

Why the Rebelle? Why now?

I have wanted to compete in the Rebelle since its inception. I am a competitive person by nature, and I also love the comradarie that comes with getting a group of women together who are passionate about what they love to do. In the last few years, I have taken time to grow my family instead of competing. I now have two amazing daughters, 1 year and 4 years old, who are both bursting with independence. Now that my family is complete, I can focus on my goal to compete!

Who, or what, inspires you most?
