She/They

Reason behind name and number: 

​My name is real-ish, It's my actual first name and combined with a word to describe my personality in two different ways. (driven and laid-back) My number came from the House bill to legalize in 2015. I wasn't allowed to use all 4 numbers, so I used 3 of the 4.

​

Derby history:

​Quad City Rollers 2015-present

​

Position:

​Blocker/Pivot

​

Other sports and hobbies:

​Working out and keeping up with my kids

​

Injuries:

​Broken wrist - 2015, partially torn PCL and meniscus tear - 2016

​

When I’m not playing derby I’m a:

​

​Don't Stop Me Now - Queen

​

Fun fact:

I played college basketball for 2 years at Culver-Stockton College and our 1994-95 team is in the school Hall of Fame.​

​

My greatest derby accomplishment is:

​The fact that I followed my dream to be here.

​

If I could tell myself one thing when I started playing, I would say:

​Give yourself grace, learning takes time.
