This year, I carry a unique responsibility, I’m the only woman in the pylon racing lineup.

When I strap into the cockpit, I don’t see myself as a “female pilot”…….I’m just a pilot, focused on flying clean, safe, and fast laps.


But representation matters. Because when young girls see someone like them flying a jet around the pylons, it sparks possibility.


It’s not about me, it’s about what comes next.

It’s about the next generation who deserve to see role models in every cockpit, every hangar, every race lineup.


I may be the only one this year….. but I certainly won’t be the last!
