Driving and working on monster trucks was my childhood dream. I have done it full time for the last 6 years but due to family reasons I decided to quit traveling so much. I was responsible for working on and maintaining three race trucks to be able to compete 25-30 weeks out of the year. I was in the public eye alot doing radio, news interviews, and meeting and talking to fans. I also am apart of the only all female professional motorsports team to drive a semi truck, work on the race trucks and drive them. the team was my twin sister and I , we were trusteed by our bosses to be responsible for being out on the road by ourselves taking care of everything. I also was a crew girl alot of my career and i was responsible for fixing our three trucks to get them back on the track to compete so our team could get paid.
