Tell us about your non-derby self: I am any typical person. Very driven and happen to have a very active lifestyle. I play softball, a runner, love hitting the weights and basically anything that has to do with exercise and improving yourself inside and out, I am in. I love the challenge of things never coming easy but after the headache and even heartache we all survive and life moves on for the better.
Were you a fan of the Dire Skates before joining? I hadn't a clue about Dire Skates before joining honestly.
Why did you join roller derby?: It is one of those accidental discoveries. My friend wanted to try out and have some support and my sister and I came with her and well...I'm hooked.
What is your favorite part of roller derby?: The overall challenge. I have to say the agility part and trying to be the quickest skater out there on my feet seem to be my strength.
What are your roller derby goals?: Be better every week. Be the best contributor I can for my teammates whatever position the Coach has me in.
What do you hope Dire Skates can do for Richmond?: Bring their community together through a very inviting family environment.
What are you skating on right now?: Couldn't tell you, still learning the overall lingo when it comes to skating.
If you could skate anywhere, anytime, where and when would it be and why? Couldn't tell you that either... this is a whole new world to me.
If you could have any famous person alive or dead join Dire Skates, who would it be and why? Probably Michael Jackson because we all knew that man can dance his a** off...I'd like to see how well he be on skates.
Tell us one thing you want us to know about yourself: I'm a very committed person and I'll do my best if anyone ever needs help.
Tell us one thing about another skater: There are too many to choose from because overall the women I skated with the past couple of months have been very inspiration and inviting and that is hard to come by with a group of females around each other. Dire Skates all stay focus and have a respect for each other. I played on a lot of teams throughout my youth and adulthood and competed at all levels but never felt that sense of respect ever. And I can say for the first time and being a little new this is the most inviting environment I been in a long time considering we all volunteer our time to work together and that's actually nice.
