What got you into racing & just cars in general?

I have a passion for learning, and I hope that this can become a lifelong outlet for me.

Shout outs/Thank yous:

Thank you to my family, especially my younger brother Thomas Van for all the support and help. Of course, also to Drifting Pretty.

How do you pay for your racing/fixing up cars habit?

I work a lot, apply for a lot of scholarships, and let people know what I'm doing and in return, I usually get support - either spiritually or financially. Plus, I have a savings I keep taking from to pay for my Cressida.

Idols or people you look up to?

Everyone!

What would you like to say to any aspiring women racers out there?

Thank you for stepping up! I look forward to seeing you out there soon!

What do you think of the Drifting Pretty Program? How has it helped you?

It's a great environment to meet great friends and obtain a lot of support from very friendly and giving people. They've helped me obtain a strong foundation and better yet, have become a group of friends I can come to.
