Hometown:
Capitan, New Mexico

Stomping Grounds: Colorado

Quiver: MBS pro 12 is my freestyle board. MBS Pro 16 is my Road/Downhill board and MBS pro 12 w/slicks and vector pro trucks is my skate park deck.

Favorite style of riding: Lately I’ve really been into park riding and just hitting bigger jumps and quarter pipes.

What would your ideal ride day be: My ideal ride day would have to be riding lifts at Copper and riding roads all day and then going to the dirt park in Empire.

Where would you like to go riding that you haven’t already: I want to go to the United Kingdom and ride some of the parks there.

How did you get into the sport: I started riding in the summer of 2004. I had just started snowboarding and thought being on a board year round would make me a better all around rider. After Joseph (my husband) taught me how to powerslide my riding was changed forever. There is nothing better than slashing through gravel just like powder. Now I am at a point that mountainboarding is so versitile and finding new places to ride every day.

Favorite Music: Hip-hop, Electronic, Rock

Favorite Food & Beverage: Extra hot Green Chili and H2O

Favorite thing about the sport: I just love the endless possibilities of where you can ride: dirt, grass, asphalt, everywhere.

Dirt / mountainboard inspired quote.

Phil 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
