I first discovered the Rebelle Rally in Alloy and Grit magazine in 2017. I was hooked. An off-road rally raid that I could pilot my Rover in, for 8 days! This sounded like too much fun! After competing for three years I'm even more enthusiastic. 

​

Part of what has me continually returning is the camaraderie. I'm not just competing with some of the most amazing navigators and drivers in the world, I'm also making great friendships and constantly learning during these experiences. 

​

And honestly, I hope to bring this spirit of adventure, enthusiasm, and lust for life home when I return to my elementary school daughters. What better than to grow up surrounded by strong women that are constantly pushing themselves and societal boundaries?

 

At least that is what the Rebelle has taught me when I watch some of the competitors that are more than a decade older than me and climbing the biggest sand dunes - In the worlds of Kerouac "because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain."
