Why do you continue to play Roller Derby? I love the sport!

What do you do outside of Roller Derby? Work, hangout with my pup, workout, ski, anything that involves being outside.

Favorite Derby Moment: My first game was pretty exciting – my parents both came to the game from out of town, and I had some friends travel from DC to come see the bout. I was really nervous the whole day leading up to it, but once we got to the rink it turned to pure excitement.
