Miriam Payne, 25, from Market Weighton, is planning to embark on the world-record venture with two friends.
After growing up on a local farm, Miriam headed to Glasgow University - where she picked up rowing.
In her second year on the water she decided to take up open water rowing.
"I rowed the Atlantic in 2022 to 2023.
"When I got back to land I was just restless and thought I needed another challenge.
"I wanted to do something harder - and I thought you can't top the Pacific ocean."
After meeting fellow rowers Jess Rowe and Lottie Hopkinson-Woolley on her Atlantic expedition, Miriam started to set her sights on the 8,000 mile journey.
She said: "It started as a bit of a joke one day and it just got lodged in my brain."
