ANGELA RICKERSON, DRIVER,
WHAT’S YOUR MOTIVATION?
“At the beginning of my journey, I knew I was passionate about off-roading but didn't know what to do with that passion. My main focus was to get outside and spend time with my kid to show him that being a "mom" doesn't just mean taking care of his needs constantly. It's setting a good example and living your life to the fullest.”

Angela Rickerson, a Seattle native, is a multifaceted individual driven by her passion for motorsports and a commitment to empowering others within the 4x4 community. Not only is she a driver in the 2024 Rebelle Rally, showcasing her adventurous spirit, but she also wears the hat of mom and customer service professional.
In addition to her exploits in the motorsports realm, Angela contributes to the fine dining scene as an accomplished bartender at acclaimed Copine in Seattle. Her skills and dedication have earned her the position of Bar Manager in a restaurant that garnered recognition, being nominated in the top 5 outstanding restaurants in the nation by the James Beard Foundation in 2023.
Angela exemplifies resilience, adventure, and poise in both her personal and professional pursuits.
The moody Pacific Northwest is host to a diverse wheeling scene. Angela takes full advantage of the mountains. Rocks, tight tree-lined trails, mud, and water are no match for this off-road enthusiast. Nearly every weekend is filled with exploits in the 4x4 motorsports genre. She hosts trail runs for female drivers and organizes events with local businesses to help promote the sport and brands she proudly represents.
The past 5 years she spent honing her driving skills. Today, she works alongside professionals in the off-road community and hopes to successfully represent her brand partners in the 2024 Rebelle Rally.
Angela is inspired by conquering obstacles and helping other off-roaders (namely women) recognize that they too can climb any obstacle, given the amount of preparation, willingness, and skill they have put into their journey.
