Words of Wisdom: “If you want anything in this life, stick to it and don’t waiver. Bust your ass for five years (give or take a few) and you’ll either be where you want to be, or if you’re not, tell everyone it was a hobby and move on with your life.” -David Choe

Favorite Target Zone: Anywhere that legally will take someone on the opposing team down !

Likes: A sportsmanship way of thinking,The feeling of taking someone down, I love that even after someone on the opposing team gets a good hit, or you get a good hit on them at the end of the night we can all shake hands, give hugs and still be kosher with each other

Dislikes: someone with a bad attitude, who thinks they aer better than anyone and everyone, unsportsmanship like players, someone who is full of spite and does not play fair, someone who knows if they can get away with it even if it's illegal will do it no matter the consequences!

Injuries: pulled muscle in my back, pulled arm muscle!

Why Roller Derby? Roller Derby is more then a sport for me it's a family,when I first heard from a friend that there was a team getting started here I called Jina immediately to set up a time when we could talk, I joined as soon as possible and have been addicted ever since, I was out a season due to my unexpected pregnacy, the whole time all I could think about and dream about was derby! Every aspect of it consumes you! Plus being a stay at home mom, practices give me some mom time some time to myself where I can hang out. With good friends and get some anger out while I'm at it! I love Roller Derby I will more then likely be doing it until I'm no longer able!

Words of Wisdom: Carelessness, overconfidence and arrogance are our greatest enemies.
