✨ moments that make me realize all my manifestations are being realized ✨

I hosted a Crab Boil Friendsgiving Birthday Party over the weekend, decorated a super cute 16ft table, ran out of seats before I could invite everyone I wanted to invite, spent quality time with some of my favorite people, feasted, laughed, and felt completely and utterly fulfilled. 🤍
This is the first time I’ve thought maybe we do need a bigger place, I want to be everyone’s Friendsgiving host. 🥰
Apparently this is 31 and I’m so here for it. 🎂

[No apexes were harmed in the making of this video] Quickest Lap of the Day! Counter clockwise at streets of Willow has always been tricky for me (especially dealing with the bowl) but getting some tows from @brianjjames and @hbp_films really helped. Ended up dropping almost 2 seconds from my personal best and was consistently running 1:30s by the end of the day. Huge thanks to @compactoctane for putting on an amazing track day and @heaththechief for encouraging me to sign up for the advanced group. Riding at the racetrack and off road has made me fall in love with riding motorcycles all over again!

In this edit, we see @actiondirector GOING FOR IT, hit or miss, he went for it. :)
Also seen here is @brianjjames , @adamwaheed , and of course @kingmazz AND @maxbiaggiofficial !! 🤩

Notice how Tom and Max pass me in the same corner. Slightly different styles, though. 😉

In the next edit, you'll see Andrea dragging elbow MULTIPLE TIMES, including right in front of Max Biaggi. 😲

Good times!

Another set I never got around to posting. These were shot by @joshuashafighi for @speedsuspects. I love having other photographers photograph the snake. As a photographer, I often fail to appreciate what’s mine when I’m the one behind the lens. But when I give up creative control and allow someone else’s eye to capture it’s beauty, it’s like seeing her again for the first time being rolled off of the trailer. Will never get tired of these lines.

MotoGP at COTA & Aprilia Racers Days 2025 | holy shit how could I forget to post about one of the coolest experiences of my life??

The whole weekend was basically an extended bestie date with @brianjjames , whom I genuinely never got sick of, even after like 72 hours of non-stop hangs!! There are few people in the world who match my vibe as well as Brian, and I hope we can make this trip an annual tradition. 🥰 Sweet Joe sadly had to work most of the weekend (see him in action being a one-take-wonder on COTA TV!!) and then jet off to a family function, but, to be fair, usually I’m the one with FOMO at events. I’m glad we made it back to COTA together for a third year in a row, bankrolled by our employers! 🤠

Part of my job at @heartworkpr is to manage media on behalf of Piaggio (Aprilia) in America, so, naturally, I got to be the VIP wrangler at MotoGP and Aprilia Racers Days at COTA this year. As someone who loves riding track, I was stoked for the opportunity to maybe, just maybe, ride the ICONIC Circuit of the Americas a mere hours after the fastest dudes in the world. What I was not expecting was to have the time of my life hanging with our VIP’s (who are all sweet angels and so easy it’s hardly work) and share a freaking garage with Moto GP racer (and recent 1st place winner) Marco Bezzecchi himself… and also WSBK champion Max Biaggi, GP racer Lorenzo Salvadori, and some other important Italians. 👀 My general rule of thumb is to never harass famous people for photos, but boy do I regret not asking for a group photo with everyone in that garage…

As you can see, I got on track for a couple sessions thanks to @aprilia_americas generously offering me a demo bike, and oh my GOD. COTA is sick. The entire <40 mins I spent on track had me CHEESIN’ in my helmet. You can sort of see the stoke in my eyes through my visor. It was a pinch-me moment I will never forget. The absolute cherry on top was getting towed around by Bestie Brian on his race-prepped RS 660 👯‍♀️🍒

I wish I could write a letter to myself circa 2016, when I was just a baby biker, to tell her what the future had in store. My life is so cool right now. 🦋Thankful as heck.
