Derby History: At a Rat City afterparty in 2013, I told a skater (hi, Siren!) that I loved watching derby, but I wasn’t big enough or tough enough to play. She punched and hipchecked me to convince me that I was in fact tough enough to try derby. Within a month I bought my R3s and started skating with the Ithaca League of Women Rollers. After one season with the Bluestockings, I transferred to Rat City in 2015 and got picked up by Grave Danger 2 weeks later. I’ve also done 2 seasons with the All Stars.
Position: almost always on my toestops, sometimes in bounds.

Fight Song: Mother Mother’s ‘Get Out The Way’ if I’m jamming, Melissa Etheridge’s ‘Giant’ if I’m blocking. Either way, ‘Bangarang’ is the last song I listen to before I take the track.
