Blocker

Derby calling:
In Spring 2008, she walked through the doors of the St. Louis arena in Montreal's Mile End to go to her first Montreal Roller Derby bout and the clouds parted and the derby angels (and devils) led her straight to the suicide seats where she plotted the acquisision of rollerskates for the very next day! Her Montreal sisters trained her to skate from scratch and she moved to Toronto in the Fall of 2008 to start Toronto Roller Derby's Fresh Meat training program. She was drafted as a Death Track Doll in the Spring of 2009 and has been in love with her sister Dolls ever since.

Words to live by:
"I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones." John Cage - US composer of avant-garde music (1912 - 1992)
