#11 Short Fuse

Derby History: I went to my first ever bout, and it was a rat city bout, in 2010. I had known Carmen Getsome previously from when I tore my ACL and she worked at the physical therapy office I went to. She introduced me to the sport and of course, I wanted to buy a pair of skates after watching my first bout. I taught myself how to skate and took classes from Carmen so when I tried out for the I-5 Rollergirls in January 2011 I made their A level travel team. I played with the I-5 Rollergirls until I aged out and graduated into adult derby in July 2013. I made the Sockit Wenches in August 2013 and will be playing my first season with Rat City in 2014 in the Key Arena.

Birthdate: November 16, 1994

Position: I am a jammer as well as a blocker.

Injuries: I tore my ACL the year before joining derby playing high school soccer and I still have to skate with a brace on my left knee. I’ve had only minor injuries since playing derby: a sprained ankle, sprained shoulder, and a few concussions here and there.

Awards: The I-5 Rollergirls placed second in Junior Champs my first season playing. Starting the second season on the I-5 Rollergirls, I was awarded Captain and led my team to a first place finish at Wild West Showdown. At the Junior Championships in 2013, the I-5 rollergirls also took home a first place finish and I won MVP of the I-5 Rollergirls for the tournament. Within my two seasons of playing I have received a few MVPs for a few I-5 travel team games.

Fun Facts: A few fun facts about me: I love food. I am terrible at cooking things but I love to eat. If I wasn’t pursuing Physical therapy I honestly would be doing competitive eating or speed eating. My specialty would be boneless buffalo wings! That or a comedian.
