Name & Number -RuinHer Rosi #747/Ref

Height-5’10”

Date Joined-February 2010

Position-Blocker mostly, secret weapon!

Favorite target zone-I really like getting in front and stopping, its fun to leave the pile of RUINS on the track.

Likes- Long walks on the beach, Candle lit dinners, actually lets get real, I like to go shooting, and eat things cooked over a campfire, and I really like weekends that involve no electronics.

Dislikes-Liars, it’s a one way ticket out the door for me.

Injuries-I haven’t had any serious ones (knock on wood) just my fair share of bumps, bruises, and road rash, I have bounced my head off the floor, good thing we wear helmets.

Why Roller Derby?-I did Marching Band, Theatre, ran Cross Country, and spent 8 years in the Marine Corps, including 1 tour in Iraq. My career is in Engineering, and I am the only woman in my office, and I have never really had girlfriends, now I have at least 30 that I can call for anything. My anger management counselor told me I needed something physical to release my pent up energy, can you think of anything better for that? How many times in the day do you just want to slap someone? Well I just put that feeling in my pocket and bring it out at practice. Feels great. Oh I don’t have to go to anger management anymore!
