Player Bio

Favourite on-track position?

Anything, I just want to play.

Why did you get involved with roller derby?

I was looking for a new hobby and spotted an ex Cat’s piece in the Wakefield Express. I went along and was immediately hooked.

Getting to skate with a bunch of incredible women (and men) and be proud to call them my teammates.
