About Me

I am always stumped when told to write about myself.
I am a person. I am an individual, and I am part of something. Scratch that; I am part of many things. I am a wife. I am a daughter. I am a twin. I am a part of a relationship, part of a family, part of a pair.
I am part of a team. I am a derby skater. I am a friend to many, and a foe to few, although we are all friends after the game. I am a fighter, and I am determined to do my best.
I am a college graduate. I am interested in criminal justice and social issues. I am loath to believe that there is anything more important than making a contribution to the world in which we live. I am agitated when people call me naïve, although they may be right. I am still waiting to prove them wrong.
I am creative and compassionate. I am constantly challenged to think outside the box. I am always eager to face challenges. I am hopeful that I can make some kind of lasting change in the world. I am aware that even small changes can be lasting, important, and totally change the world for at least one person.
Likes: skating, argyle socks, riding my bike downtown, Thursdays at Bogarts, turtles, hamburgers, Hamberger
Dislikes: chocolate, people who are rude, the color yellow



If you're interested in roller derby, think you might want to join our league, or just wanna talk about the game, feel free to talk derby to me!
