Aiva has motorsport in her blood; her mother, Barbara, was a competitive go-karter, and her father worked as a track mechanic. At six, she tried karting for the first time, igniting her passion for speed.

Aiva’s competitive spirit, especially in races against her brother James, drove her to focus on the sport after achieving podium finishes.

In 2022, she competed at the Motorsport Games in France and won the Australian Ladies Trophy in 2021. By 2024, she had transitioned to car racing, testing regularly with Argenti Motorsport and finishing 10th in her debut season in the Indian F4 championship.
