PALESTRo

I am building a career in motorsports, working my way to F1 Academy, with the goal of one day competing for wins at the highest level in IndyCar and Formula 1, all while helping pave the way for more women in racing.

REPRESENTING THE FUTURE OF motorsports

I'm a 16 year old F4 driver competing in my second season of the Formula Pro USA Championship. I currently drive for Kiwi Motorsport. On the track, I race to win. Off the track, I'm proud to give back, including by working with the Della Penna Foundation and NXG Youth Motorsports.

I GIVE 110% every second I AM on the track

I've been chasing this dream since I was four. I learn from the tough days, and appreciate the good days.
I am better every day and more skilled with every race.
Everything I do on and off the track is to get me closer to my ultimate goals: IndyCar and F1.
