REBELLE NEWSLETTER
Stay in the know - our newsletters contain all the latest updates and event information.
We are very excited to participate in the upcoming Rebelle Rally. But how did we get together as a team? Magna decided to sponsor two teams in the Rally this year and we separately applied for one of the spots on the teams. We had to submit a short video detailing why we believe to be a good fit for the rally and why we would want to participate in such a challenging event. It was impressive to see how many talented and motivated women at Magna applied for these spots. Long story short – we were selected to be on one of the Magna teams. However, up until now, at the time we are writing this team bio, we have only met online. Virtual meetings and video chats have allowed us to get to know each other better, exchange ideas, and develop strategies. Despite the physical distance, we are already developing a friendship, feel a strong connection, and are determined to give our best. We look forward to starting together as a team. We are particularly looking forward to finally meeting and training in person. Together, we will tackle the challenges and create lasting memories. With the support of Magna and our team spirit, we are ready for the adventure that lies ahead!

In kindergarten, I had a very special preference: I liked to eat earthworms! Yes, you heard that right! While most kids chose cookies or fruit, I found the little, slimy creatures simply fascinating. It was like a little adventure, and I was proud to have tried something so unusual. Of course, that wasn't the typical snack choice, but I was always on the lookout for new experiences.Later on, it wasn't worms anymore… but still unconventional. Eating spaghetti with my hands. It can get quite messy when the sauce splatters and the noodles end up everywhere. But that just makes it even more fun!Somehow, I was always in search of adventure and fun as a child. I always try to enjoy life to the fullest!
I will be participating in the off-road rally because my company, Magna Int., is sponsoring two starting spots, and I applied for one of them. After ten years in which I hardly had any time for myself, I am looking forward to finally experiencing independence again. This challenge offers me the opportunity to test myself, gain new experiences, and fully enjoy nature. It is a great opportunity to discover my limits. Thank you, Magna.

An eight-day trip from Austria (where I live) to Germany (where I was born) by bike. Bicycle trailers helped us transport everything: tent, clothes, stove, food, and above all, our small children. We quickly learned to love the challenge.

I first heard about the Rebelle Rally in 2022 when Magna sent its first team to the Rally. I have been fascinated by the Rally and knew that I wanted to compete in it as well. When the opportunity arose for me to submit my application, I jumped at it and was thrilled to find out that I had been selected as one of the team members to represent Magna in the rally this year.

Getting lost in the Canadian Rockies with a friend during a hike and finding our way out of the back country. A slightly scary and very memorable experience.
