Racing Resume

Backround:
I purchased my Kawasaki EX-250 2 years ago after suffering through a 45 mile commute for three hours. I taught myself how to ride it that night. It didn't take long for me to realize that surviving on the streets as a motorcyclist would require the right gear, the right motorcycle, the right skills and the right attitude. I got myself onto the track and began developing my motorcycling skills and philosophy. Since that time I have become more and more enveloped in the world of motorcycling and have honed my skills to the point where racing became the next logical step. I'm a firm believer that riding with smoothness, skill, accurately interpreting feedback from your bike, and the right attitude is far superior to just riding "balls out". My refined yet aggressive style and unique look have already garnered many interesting opportunities in my fledgling riding career and I eagerly anticipate what is yet to come. There are very few female racers out there with my dedication, attitude, and skill set, and I plan on setting an example for others to follow. I have what it takes and am already a role model for many young girls and other women out there - as well as having earned the respect of my peers, both male and female. Since this is something that I can do, it's my desire and responsibility to show others what is possible when they put their heart, mind, and soul into pursuing their dreams.
