I always loved getting in the car and driving! Family vacations, trips to visit friends, exploring new cities, meeting new people and seeing new scenery always lured me to the road.  So, when I heard GM and Chevy were looking for teams to participate in a road trip challenge to SXSW, I knew this was the trip for me!

I’m honored to be on Team Lansing in the road trip challenge. A team of us will be leaving Lansing, Michigan on March 9 and heading down to Austin, Texas for SXSW!
