Alright, let’s talk about some wild shit. My amazing roller derby team, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk Bombshells traveled to the East Coast Derby Extravaganza last month, and I was invited to come along for my first trip as a D1 Chartered skater as a relief jammer. After a crazy travel mixup and a bunch of […]
When you’re planning to leave home for an undetermined amount of time, on your own, to another continent… you tend to search out a few things that are going to be familiar amongst the deluge of new-ness that is about to become your entire existence. Also, if you have an addiction, you definitely try to […]
When I transferred to Garden State Rollergirls, I never imagined that a year and a half after I did, I would be leaving again. When I joined the team I was in a bad place, derby wise. I simply wasn’t happy – I thought I was a crap skater and a waste of time, and […]
I recently was given the opportunity to be interviewed by John Sonmez on his Get Up and Code Podcast, because of my work at Infragistics and my lifting and roller derby involvement. It was my first interview, and luckily it was a joint interview with my colleague, Chris. Truth be told I was incredibly nervous, […]

I’m so incredibly proud to publicly announce that as of July 1, 2014, I will be transferring to the Garden State Rollergirls!!! […]
Today was pretty flipping awesome for so so many reasons… here’s just a sampling of them… 10. I GOT TO TALK TO MY LITTLE TALI!! 9. Andy, Jason and I got to hash out a bunch of Neko stuffs. 8. Steak, green beans, and baby red potatoes for dindin. YUM. 7. I stopped being antisocial […]
