How I got into Roller Derby
My first set of skates were some extendable metal lace up things you strapped round your shoes! I loved skating as a teenager but had forgotten all about it until I was looking for a sport or activity I could do to replace my boring gym membership, then I stumbled across Roller Derby! I think I was amazed and terrified in equal measure.. but there was definitely no going back!

How addicted!!?!
I would wear my skates 24 hours a day if I could (Sheffield would need to be flattened out a bit though!). My favourite position is jammer but I'm working hard on being better in the pack, my skate out song would probably be something by Daft Punk, I love dancing - I'm generally found on the dancefloor at afterparties!

Skate heroes?
My skate hero in SSRG is Rio cos she's a great all rounder and a partner in crime when it comes to cocktail drinking! I love watching London Rollergirls play and New Skids on the Block (Montreal) are just amazingly agile and fast!

My non derby life...
I work in Geographic Information Systems (a more complex version of google maps) and love going to gigs, indie films and bars serving nice cocktails. I'm addicted to sushi and my other massive sporting addiction (in winter anyway) is snowboarding, if only Sheffield had 7 mountains rather than hills!
