Slammi Sweetheart

How did you come up with your derby name and number?
I had to think outside of the box on this one. One of my guilty pleasures is Jersey Shore. So that's where the inspiration came from, but because of my stature it works...

Why did you join TTRB?
My friends from PFM were looking into flight school and brought me along for an open house. I was intrigued so I signed up for flight school…. The rest is history.

Besides skating, what service do you provide to the league and the community?
I am part of 3 committees, and head of one of them, to date the biggest accomplishments I’ve been involved in are Derby Prom, Cinderroller ball, and a few restaurant take over’s at the Red Onion in Mountlake Terrace. I also helped get some of the league out building houses with Habitat for Humanity’s annual Women Build.

What do you do with your time, other than derby?
Volunteering at the art museum, pursuing the best dumpling in Seattle, or wreaking havoc with my teammates.

Do you have a quote/saying that means a lot to you?
Go big or go home.

If you could give any advice to a new or interested skater, what would it be?
Work hard. Practice. Don't give up. Every setback makes you a better skater in the long run. And, don't be afraid to ask for help

What is your biggest fear?
Spiders. I have nightmares about them.

What is your favorite color?
Green. And Black.

What is your beverage of choice?
Beer or water. Thats it. With 7n7's thrown in the mix.

If you could be anything other than human, what would you be?
A PARTY TIGER!
