How did you get into derby? A friend in my car club told me about rec league so I tried it and liked it.
How did you pick your derby name? I actually stumbled upon my name in a list on our red league bored and I just went with it. It was easy and I didn't have to hurt my brain thinking of a new one.
Likes I like, LOVE to cook and eat.
Dislikes lazy people and people that don't know how to drive safely.
Favorite thing about derby That there's always something to learn and ALWAYS someone there to help you out. The sister hood and strength of the women I skate with is awesome.
Fun Facts I'm from Detroit, Michigan. Went to college in Pittsburgh, then Miami. Now I live in Houston. I was a bit of a gypsy in my younger years. I'm also a kidney donor. In 2004 I donated my left kidney to one of my best friends. I LOVE Bollywood films.

How did you get into derby?
I was a big fan before I tried out. I will never forget the first time I saw DBC on that track and I knew it was something I had to do!
Likes I like food, sleep and derby.
DislikesI dislike anything that gets in the way of those things.
Favorite thing about derby
Meeting all these fantastic ladies that I never would have met otherwise, training hard with them and then hitting each other!
