About me: There is always hope. Nothing is impossible. You only need to believe enough, and work hard enough at following through on that belief. Derby found me in 2009. Began announcing, then photographing and blogging, then NSOing (still rock the pink), then coaching in May 2010. League first, team second, skater third. Live it, love it.

Likes: Hard hits, skating fast, turning left. Impenetrable walls. Winning after parties. Whiskey. Safety. The Pacific Northwest. Sonic Youth. rcknrll. NSOs in different area codes. Pegacorns.

Dislikes: Whining. Gin. Posers. D-bags. Crack heads. Excuses. Regrets.

Favorite Color: Rainy City blue, in all its variations.

Drink of Choice: Whiskey…on the rocks. And a tall IPA. Maybe a White Russian to round things out.

My Hero: All my Rainy City ladies out there bustin butt on the track! DO and SK for getting me into derby. Mel Mangles for being the bad a** she is.

Catch Phrase: ALL YOUR AFTERPARTIES ARE BELONGS TO ME.

Favorite Moves: Sideline dancing. Excited jumping. I-Five
