- What brought you to DDR?
- I had been skating for several years prior to coming to Dutchland and found that it was time for a change. DDR seem to be moving in the direction that I wanted to go and was a good fit for me. The league was full of positive, motivating, all around good people who loved derby.
- What keeps your wheels turning?
- My love for Roller Derby! It is the best sport around. Also, the genuine support and friendship from my teammates and coach are irreplaceable and truly inspires me every day.
- What is your most embarrassing Derby moment?
- I can’t say that I have one.
- What is your proudest Derby moment?
- Every bout is a proud moment…we seem to come one step closer as a team to meeting our goals. To date, I would have to say my proudest moment was DDR being recognized on DNN as a top 25 team in March 2011. We worked really hard this past season. Seriously - blood, sweat, vomit and tears! And, personally, I worked very hard overcoming injury to get back to skating with my team this season – so this is super sweet for me.
- DDR Awards/ Fan Favorite Awards:
- Best Come Back
- Got any injury stories?
- In May 2010, I injured my knee during a bout with the New Skids in Montreal. I didn’t realize the extent of my injury and tried to rehab myself. I played again a month later at ECE while not fully healed. That didn’t work out so well for me. In June 2010 I learned that I tore my PCL. Recovery would be 6-9 months with intense physical therapy. My first bout back was against DC in February 2011.
