Shift Happens

We are two very different people from very different backgrounds which makes this feel AWESOME! We have a very similar goal…we know we are capable to podium. We go at the rally with this in mind, to be the best forms of ourselves we can be and lift each other and others up during competition. To end this journey with a big smile and a lot of Pride! We are competitors, wives, daughters and we are proud to be part of the Warner Ineos Team here in Salt Lake. Fate and the perfect storm brought us together and we are stoked to roll in the 2025 Ineos Quartemaster.

What is your occupation and what does that mean to you?

i own and operate a Pilates Studio (20 years) and we are in the beginning retirement stage with Husband. Teaching was never something I though I would like but it has brought me such joy to see people grow and witness people reaching their personal bests. I am so lucky to call my long-time clients.......friends.

I love scenic vistas with NO SILT and death valley, places you would never see without a map and compass. I love Glamis but..... the beauty is pretty spectacular.

What is the most challenging part of the Rally for you?

Missing my home, my husband and my dogs. I also miss the beautiful Fall in Park City. I leave at the most magical time of year here and come home to SNOW.

I mean.... how do you stop this once you have done it? I am definitely more confident in my abilities and feel like I can help others if in distress.

Do you have any memorable moments with cars?

I was raised in a construction family so heavy equipment is in my blood. I was never afraid to get behind the wheel of a big truck ( dump-truck ) or D-9 John Deer Loader. I have always had confidence in my abilities. I was definitely a daddy's girl and loved running jobs with him.

What are your competition objectives and why?

To do better each day than i did the last as a competitor as a teammate and as a person. If I can focus on growing each day, I think that gives us the best chance at winning. Regardless if we podium or not we can look in the mirror and say we gave it everything and kept your grace and morals, then we are walking away winners.

What makes you tick, outside of work?

Singer/Songwriter. I play in a band called Henry Henrietta. I also make ceramics and I am a very passionate dog Mom.

What is your background in motorsports, and how does that shape how you're approaching the Rebelle?

My first foray into motorsports was with the Moroccan Gazelle Rally in 2013. With no experience in off-road, cars or navigation, i took the crazy opportunity in-front of me and jumped right in. I was hooked. I ended up competing in 4 Gazelle Rally's where I met and forged friendships with the architects of the soon to be Rebelle Rally and that changed my life forever and for the better.

What kind of cool experiences do you have outside of the Rebelle?

I perform in an all women improv. team called "Woke UP Like this", and I play shows with my band - Henry Henrietta. Ive also gone fly-fishing in Iceland 4 times

Which terrain is your favorite part of the course and why?

Though we only got to experience it once, Titus Canyon was spectacular. It was such an incredible opportunity the Rally gave us to experience that natural wonder. We've gotten something like Titus Cayon every year I've done the Rally. Im always excited to see what they will give us this year.

What is the most challenging part of the Rally for you?

Giving myself grace. I don't sweat it when my teammate makes a mistake, but when i do I am really tough on myself. I hate to let others down so I put a lot of pressure on myself. I am working on giving myself the same grace I try to give to others.

How has the rally changed you and what made you want to come back?

Every year on the Rebelle I walk away with more confidence, a better understanding of who I am and growth in communication. There is always more you can learn so I welcome any chance I can ro come back and build on who I am.

Do you have any memorable moments with cars?

Just the feeling of freedom and pride, passing my drivers test on the first try ( it was the first year they added freeway driving). Most people needed 2 to 3 goes at it. Getting the keys to my first car, a beat up used Toyota Corolla hatchback. She was beautiful
