On a crisp December morning in Southern California’s high desert, two adventurous women and their friends arrived at the Pioneertown parking lot, expecting nothing more than a casual day of off-roading. Little did they know, they were on the brink of an incredible journey that would ultimately lead them to the Rebelle Rally. Since that day, they have been diligently laying a solid foundation to conquer any challenges that lie ahead!

I'm passionate about supporting women in the off-road industry, I share my love for the outdoors through family adventures that inspire others to explore and enjoy the journey. Driven by the thrill of the trail and the joy of togetherness, I hope to make the off-road world more welcoming and accessible.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”-Hunter S Thompson
I love to cycle! I once completed a 55 mile ride with 4,000 feet of elevation gain. It's a community ride called the Joshua Tree 55.
After experiencing the Rebelle Rally last year as a rookie I knew had to come back and compete again. I loved the combination of the competition, camaraderie, and unexpected challenges daily.
This person has been there for me since high school, and has encouraged and supported me in more ways than I thought possible. The example set in their life and career has always pushed me to be stronger and braver, and inspired me to believe that I can do anything I set my mind to. This person is my husband, Jason Harbert.

This past summer I had the opportunity to run the Rubicon Trail with family and a few friends for the first time. The trail was unrelenting, the scenery breathtaking, and the challenge of getting all the rigs through obstacle after obstacle was invigorating.

We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains. -Ursula K. Le Guin
I'm the fourth-generation owner (and resident) of an early 1930's homestead with a cabin built buy my great-grandfather.
I've been following the Rebelle Rally for years, and initially, it felt like a distant dream to think about competing. So, when a friend who has participated invited me to be her navigator, I was overjoyed—it's still hard to believe it's actually happening this year!
I find inspiration in people who embrace life's challenges and emerge stronger from them.
If I’m not jamming out to some tunes, I’m likely listening to the Average Overlanders Podcast, or working on my YouTube University credentials.
I took a multiweek geology field study course through the Colorado Plateau (AZ, NM, UT, CO) learning about the history of the continent in a real-life setting!
