How I Got Started: When I was 2 I got over the shoe/adjustable skates for Christmas and taught myself to skate. I spent every free moment skating for years. Although I stopped skating for a long time, a year and a half ago I told myself, I need something to do that’s fun. I’m going to join roller derby. A year later I actually got the balls to do it and here I am. Derby has reminded me of everything I love about strapping on my skates and hitting the rink
