Years Playing Derby: 6 years
Current Team(s) Skating For:
- Minnesota RollerGirls All-Stars and Atomic Bombshells
Position: Blocker, Pivot
Why I Skate Riedell:
They make really high quality gear and have the best customer service. I know that my skates are made with care and meant to last. I'm also a born and raised Minnesotan, so there's a certain amount of home state pride involved.
How I Got into Roller Derby:
It all happened on the biggest whim! I saw Whip It and googled "Minnesota roller derby." I'd never been to a bout before but I grew up playing hockey and rugby and figured I might have the right skills to make it through tryouts.
Pre-Bout Ritual:
I try to get a lot of sleep and then I drink a lot of coffee.
Favorite Thing(s) To Do Outside of Derby:
I'm an outside cat, I like to be outdoors as much as possible. I also like to read and drink good beer and watch bad movies. I have a great family and try to spend as much time as I can with them.
