Roth IRA Contribution Making under $6k

I am a student and worked part time last year, making $2500 doing food delivery. I deducted about $600 for mileage expenses. Am I stillallowed to contribute the whole$2500 to a Roth IRA?

No.  Only the net amount after expenses and subtracting the deductible part of the SE tax.
