I’m a skater for Gotham Girls Roller Derby All-Stars and Team Indigenous Rising. After moving to New York City in 2011, I started skating with Gotham the following year. I have been on the All-Stars for four seasons. Currently, I coach our junior skaters and also our development team, trying to help build the future of roller derby in our program. Two of my favorite memories are playing with Team Indigenous at the 2018 World Cup, and winning silver with Gotham at the 2019 WFTDA Championships.

My favorite part about roller derby is that it is always changing, and there is always something to learn or improve upon. As a smaller blocker, I love learning new ways to combat hard hits and make effective offense. STEAKS gear helps me feel like a beast on the track.
