I like fake out jukes. It feels like I got away with something.
What do you like most about roller derby?
Having a good time and doing fun things with my teammates.
Why did you start playing?
I watched Whip It. I thought that if roller derby was real, those people were really cool and I wanted to be really cool, too.
What surprised you about the sport?
It is not anything like Whip It. But it is really cool.
Why did you choose PRD?
I wanted to challenge myself and play at a higher level of competition. I also love traveling and thought if I could couple it with roller derby, that would be cool.
Because of roller derby…
I learned how to rollerskate, which is really fun. I made it through a tough period in life. I met a lot of different, great people. I gained healthy self-confidence. I found a fun way to stay in shape that isn’t boring like going to the gym.
