It’s kind of like the 6 degrees of Rebelle. Kendra competed in the first Rebelle where she met and became friends with another competitor, Tana White. A couple years later, Tana would go on to compete with Verena in the XCross class for Kia. After some post stage dinners and some PNW Rebelle meet-ups, Verena & Kendra became friends. 2024 registration rolled around, both Verena & Kendra needed new teammates so they high-fived, Kia tossed them the keys to a Telluride and a partnership was formed.

Life is not about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.
I'm that girl in Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift who wrote my phone number down to “Han”, after he did donuts around our Skyline in the middle of the street.
The Rebelle was on my bucket list since the first year, so when Kia asked me to drive for their team in 2021, there was no hesitation. I love being a part of it every year because I get to connect with amazing ladies, push myself to a new level, enjoy the scenery and be completely present in the journey. I always come back a better version of myself because of it. Can’t wait to team with Kendra this year!
People who are true to themselves, make a positive difference in the world just by being themseves, keep pushing foward even when it's tough, and folks who push their limits to achieve something seemingly impossible, then discover a world of possibility.

Good & Plenty's are one of my favorite candies.
My first Rebelle was very selfish. Completely about having an adventure, doing a hard thing despite others' concerns, seeing what I was capable of. After that it was about playing a fun game with amazing challenges and inspiring women. This year, Verena & Kia have extended the opportunity to compete in a new to me class and a new vehicle. Really excited for the challenge.
People who are kind, art, clouds, people who know what they want and go for it.
