Favorite SWE Memory: There have been many in my three years in SWE but I think one of my favorites was during the 2021 Grand Prix when one of the PSWE karts at the last second moved into Fifth place and put our team on the final leaderboard. This was such an exciting moment as we were rewarded for all of the hours, sweat and exhaustion went into getting that kart on the track. Not only was this a great moment seeing all of the technical effort that went into this result but additionally as a team built on empowering women and those who are not typically at the forefront of the racing environment it was a great moment that hopefully was empowering not only to those on the team but others watching as well.
