What inspired you to start participating in roller derby? A friend was an NSO and started bringing me to bouts… then I became an NSO… then I just couldn’t stay off the track!

Advice to First Years: Derby isn’t just about skills—it’s about finding your pack and the people who’ll cheer wildly and pick you up (sometimes literally) after every spectacular fail because in this community, persistence isn’t just respected, it’s celebrated.

Favorite moment: Ooooh. There are so many! But winning the “high 5 award” after losing an absolutely brutal bout in Alaska was a *chef’s kiss* moment.
