What’s the story behind your derby name/derby number? People always turn my name into crazy nicknames for me, this one was my favourite. I think it suits me and it makes me feel more powerful on the track.

When did you join Roller Derby/Renegade Derby Dames?I started with RDD this year (2020), I joined because I love derby and want to play for as long as I can.

What’s the best thing about roller derby? The best thing about derby is the people you play with and getting to hit them of course. The game requires you to work with your people, and it feels great when you work together to hold a jammer for a long time. I love to play because I can be active and aggressive, knowing my body can go really fast and knocking people down makes me feel good. I like to officiate too because otherwise I wouldn't effectively learn the rules to this crazy game. I also get to hang out with other NSOs and they are all pretty cool.

What is your derby goal/dream? My derby goal is to become a great offensive Pivot. Step 1: Remembering that I have the pivot panty on my helmet.
