Tell Us about you:  I started riding about 7 years ago, I had a rather late start for a sport so demanding considering my competitive nature. I push myself to go farther every time I jump on my machine. My favorite season has always been winter so adding sledding to this season was awesome. As a wife and mother I do almost all of my activities with my family. Its an amazing sport to be able to share with all of them. I am also a huge advocate for women and family involvement in snowmobiling. I started with the Betties Powersports Network 6 years ago and have mentored many women. I am thankful for Thunderstruck, to be able to continue this mentoring through Thunderstruck as well.

Special Thanks:  I would like to thank all of my thunderstruck sponsors; Sid from Klim, Jason from Sub Zero Audio, 509, Frankensled, BCA, SlyDog Skis, True Adventure Gear, First Place Parts and The Flying Saddle Resort.   I appreciate all that you do for the riders and for the sport, your passion is amazing!
I would also like to thank my personal sponsors; New Way Powersprts and BRP, Marc St. Louis of Spiralus Designs, Jason Call for my custom painted helmet and of course all my family and friends for your encouragement and support.
