How did you get started in roller derby? Saw a commercial, set the DVR, fell in love! …swore, “If I ever live in Texas again I’ll move to Austin and skate for a banked track team.” …got my bluff called with a daring email linked to a recruitment story in the news. (DOH!) Put on skates for the first time in 14 years … fell a lot … fell some more. Tried out in spring ’06… became a Cincinnati Rollergirl.

What's the craziest thing that happened to you during a bout? Hmmm…during a bout it’s all pretty crazy for me since I bounce off the floor like a rubber rag-doll. The craziest thing I ever did on skates was drop into a 20-foot bowl at an outdoor skate park. Witnesses can attest to the hilarity that ensued as I my life flashed before my eyes in the biggest butt-busting fall of my skating career…all the 13 year-old boys watched with awe and then proceeded to point and laugh like a pack of wild hyenas.
