Vicki began her racing career after completing the Kevin Schwantz Suzuki School at Road Atlanta. It was not long after that Vicki became hooked on this new and exhilarating sport of motorcycle roadracing and she soon found herself converting her GSXR600 to a racebike and headed for the track! Her first full season of roadracing saw her clinch the Novice Women's Cup Challenge championship. She has not looked back since!
Prior to her career in motorcycle racing, Vicki competed for many years at both the provincial and national levels for mountain bike racing and road cycling. She has also spent quite a bit of time traveling the world over the years, and has lived in such exciting places as Rotterdam, Netherlands; Rome, Italy and Bangkok, Thailand.
In 2009, with only four full seasons of road racing under her belt, Vicki finished 3rd in the Canadian National Armour Bodies Amateur Sportbike Championship, earning her a Pro racing license for 2010 and one of very few female Canadian road racers ever to achieve Professional status.
