Dark Defender

We are Evelyn and Jill — Rookies to the Rebelle! We first met as we each interviewed potential partners for the rally. In our first discussion, we clicked and realized that though we took different paths to get here, we are a lot alike. We complement each other’s skills and we both quickly figured out that we could count on each other to do what it would take to train for this unique, high-pressure challenge. More importantly, we were sure we could be in a car for over a week together under strenuous competitive conditions! Evelyn is the experienced “off-roader” of our team – who decided to expand her skills into navigation. Jill is new to the off-roading scene – but her sense of adventure compelled her to join this year’s Rebelle as the team driver. Interestingly, we discovered that both of us have taken a break from our respective “corporate warrior” roles — Evelyn as an accomplished software developer and manager and Jill as a human resources executive. Yet, our warrior energy (which we are sure to bring to the Rebelle….) is still front and center in our lives! Jill is the mom of two high school teenagers, three dogs, a rabbit, and a bearded dragon while Evelyn continues to be a passionate international traveler and outdoor adventurer – hiking, rock climbing, biking, and skiing. Our goals for the competition? “That we get out there, do our best, have fun, and share some belly laughs”!
