Driver Information
I began my racing career in 2010, starting with jr sprints at Deerfield Raceway. In 2013, I transitioned to the dwarf car class, where I secured the Jr sportsman Division Championship in both 2014 and 2015.
In 2016, I continued racing dwarf cars before making the move to the modlite division full-time in 2017, where I won the championship at Deerfield Raceway. And was awarded “small car driver of the year" from the twin state auto club. From 2018 to 2020, I expanded my racing schedule, competing not only at Deerfield and Mercer Raceway but also traveling across the country to race in Florida, Canada, North Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
In 2019 I was the points champion at Michael's Mercer Raceway, Ohio-Pennsylvania-West Virginia Modlite racing tour champion, and STARS Modlite regional points champion. As well as the first woman to win a championship at Mercer. Also awarded “small car driver of the year" from the twin state auto club for the 2nd time
Late in 2020, I had the opportunity to race a full-size modified, which paved the way for my transition to sprint cars in mid-2021. That year, I earned a victory in only my fourth sprint car start.
In 2022, I continued racing 305 sprint cars while also having the privilege of competing in a 410 sprint car with the Barris Racing team. Since then, I have continued to race 305 sprint cars and remain active in that class today. With a handful of 410 starts in our family owned #20m as well.
2024 was my best season to date with securing the points championship at Michael's Mercer Raceway in the 305 Sprint Car division.
