offroad lifestyle ambassador
|
I am a two-time women’s national rock crawling champion, and first woman to ever cross the finish line at King of the Hammers. As a former professional rock crawler and monster truck driver, I've conquered the most extreme terrain imaginable. Check out how I got to now.
I four wheel all over the world, I’m a wife, I’m a mom, and…whew!...when it’s all put together, I’ve become one of the best known females in the off road industry. |
I have followers in over 40 countries and have driven as a professional in 10 countries. I use my Jeep, JUWL, to promote the off road lifestyle everywhere I go.
I meet thousands of folks out on the trails, and I am obsessed with providing engaging social media content. Follow me and my crazy adventures! |
monster jam truck driver
|
As the original driver of the Scooby-Doo Monster Jam truck, a 12-foot tall, 10,000-pound beast powered by 1,500 horses, I can truly say my experiences in the truck and on the track were unique and rewarding.
I won racing at my first show when I started with Monster Jam in 2011 driving Tasmanian Devil. That year I broke the record for the most wins by a rookie or a female in a single season, and received the 2011 Monster Jam Rising Star Driver award.
By 2012 I was driving the title sponsor truck, Advance Auto Parts Grinder and raced in the inaugural Young Guns Shootout at Monster Jam World Finals.
I experienced a phenomenal growth year in 2013 when the Scooby-Doo truck was first introduced. Fans of all ages embraced Scooby and me, and the truck was wildly popular in every city we performed across the globe.

family life
|
My husband Frank and I grew up in Southern California. After I graduated from Brigham Young University in 1996 with a degree in Construction Management, we moved to Las Vegas and have been here ever since.
|
Both of our dads were from Hawaii, so when our boys were born, we naturally gave them Hawaiian names. Palani is a freshman at Utah State University and Kainoa is a sophomore in high school. They get their height from my tall, skinny, Portuguese Dad.
