HELLO LATTE! Meet my new ride, Latte. Ever since I rode this bike 2 years ago at DC Dirt Camp, I fell in love with it immediately. July 2021 on my super friend Marjorie’s XT250 (also before working at REVIT) at DC Dirt Camp during an Adventure Bike Class It was lightweight, easy to ride and super comfortable. Unfortunately I don’t have any pics of me sitting down on the bike, only standing up! :) :) IS IT TOO SMALL? No. Absolutely not. Yes, I have almost 20 years of motorcycle experience under my belt but I am absolutely positively new to dual sport riding and I would be fooling myself ..read more

Another One Opens! Like Really, Really Wide. It’s been a crazy Summer so I haven’t had time to update. I’m excited to announce I’ve been spending it at my new job as Retail Experience Manager for REV’IT! USA. Luckily we are based in Denver, so no, I am not moving back to Philadelphia anytime soon. (No more humidity!) Since April I’ve been traveling, seeing friends along the way and most importantly, talking to riders! So here’s what I’ve been up to in case you missed my IG feed. AUSTIN, TX Right after I started, I headed right to MotoGP in Austin. And bumped into Danilo Petrucci! Ok, he was i ..read more

RevZilla Denver Grand Opening with some of the best people I’ve ever worked with in the motorcycle industry. October 2021 UPDATE #1: IT’S SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYE, REVZILLA Well, it’s been a wild couple of months. First things first, after 8 years of dedicating my career to RevZilla / Comoto, I decided to leave at the end of February. For reasons I won’t go into deeply here, I had to make a decision for myself that was extremely difficult to make. But I am 1,000% happy that I did. A very, very wise woman I know recently said: Just don’t drain your well filling everyone else’s glass. Your well ..read more

Last summer I had the privilege of riding with the amazing Pat Jacques of ADVWoman.com, on parts of the Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route. The ride was sponsored in part by WomenRidersNow and SeeMeBeauty. As part of this trip, I was honored to be chosen as part of a series of short videos that WRN and SMB put together about our journeys. This was one of the most transformative two wheel journeys of my life, having very little offroad riding experience. I feel lucky as ever to have ridden with all of these women and learned so much from my coaches and fellow riders. I hope you enjoy this vi ..read more

Let's Talk About Helmets

Me and my friend Roko out riding near Nederland, CO. August 2021 Shark Evo One 2 Helmet, MSRP $449-$469 This week I worked with a couple of people who needed to get fitted for a helmet. One rider in particular stood out because of her discomfort with wearing a helmet in general, especially a full face. So she asked to see this specific helmet: This helmet is particularly unique because it can convert from an open face to a modular helmet, so the chinbar can open and then flip backwards to the backside of the helmet. You can wear it this way while riding. Who wouldn’t want the ability to quic ..read more

Me, at my MSF Dirtbike class down at King George VA, Memorial Day Weekend Me and Pat in Jan 2020 I promise, I’ll get to the Denver part in a minute. But first, just wanted to say that it’s been an even crazier year and I was working way too much these past couple of months. I’m happy to say that I finally came out from under it and was able to take a whopping 3 days off on Memorial Day Weekend to go take some dirt and adv classes with DC Dirt Camp. I wrote a review on Common Tread, about my experience. Needless to say, I LOVED IT. Riding in the dirt was always on my bucket list, and in my fu ..read more

Spring has sprung, so I thought it would be nice to share with you some new gear faves that I’ve been seeing as I’m slinging gear in the RevZilla Philly Showroom. These aren’t in any particular order, just random faves; some are women specific, some aren’t. Leatt Dual Axis Knee Guards ($99/pair) Looking for a very good pair of knee guards that are stronger than your basic $20 knee guard but not as expensive as a $300 singular knee brace? I love these because they fit every knee, especially smaller legs and knees (e.g. petite women riders!) They also work on the street if you need something to ..read more
