As the only women’s, flat-track roller derby league in Montgomery County, MD, Free State Roller Derby (FSRD) is hometown and homegrown. Founded in November 2009, FSRD is 100 percent volunteer-run by a growing group of devoted skaters and Fresh Meat, and is backed by a dedicated crew of referees and non-skating officials (NSOs).

FSRD is a 501(c)(3) organization.

Derby name origin: I've always been partial to derby names that incorporate the person's real name, but in a more badass way. I also like that mine is short and powerful.

When did you join roller derby? Fall 2018

What brought you to Free State? I've had interest in derby for years, but when I learned there was a league right in my own backyard, I knew it was time to get off my ass and do the thing!

How did you find Free State? A friend skates for another league and bouted against FSRD up here. She hit me up to come check out her bout, and I was like "Hey! There's a league that close to me?! Kickass!"

Which leagues/teams are you affiliated with? (e.g. Suzies, Villains, Team Maryland, DCRG, CCRG, etc)

FSRD, Team Zebra!

Are you a member of any committees or have off-skates roles? For now I'm an NSO (go Team Zebra!), but I hope to get on-skates in the near future!

Do you have a skating/athletic background? I grew up as a dancer! I started lessons when I was 2 years old, and even taught for a few years after college.

Likes: Likes: Cheese. It's the best, and if you don't agree, you're just wrong. Also, skulls.

Dislikes: Dislikes: Have a seat; this will take some time...

What is your Non-Derby-Related job? Office-drone on a government contractor by day. Full-time mama to the coolest kid on the block.
