When did you join roller derby? 2016
What brought you to Free State? A desire to play roller derby with some of the most badass and supportive people I've ever met.
How did you find Free State? At a Pride Festival I saw a happy group of people on skates, internally screamed, "rooooolleeeeeer deeeeeeerby," then was warmly greeted by Free State.
Which leagues/teams are you affiliated with? (e.g. Suzies, Villains, Team Maryland, DCRG, CCRG, etc)
Villians
Are you a member of any committees or have off-skates roles?
I'm Chair of the Safety Committee.
Do you have a skating/athletic background?
I ran track in middle school and did pretty much nothing until I was an adult. I began weight lifting, running again, and joined crossfit.
Likes: food, nature, smiles, good books, stretching, animals, getting a specific itchy spot scratched, fun socks.
Dislikes: how cheese treats me when its so delicious, negativity, wedgies, spiders (I won't kill it but will panic as I free it).
What is your Non-Derby-Related job? Physician Assistant.
Pre-Bout ritual: Good night sleep, eggs and coffee for breakfast followed by a 1-5 poops, peanut butter and banana sandwich + Gatorade for lunch, then get excited as I put on my bout make-up.
Signature move: Hitting hard at the seams.
Roller Derby Hero: Scald Eagle.
