Derby History:

I was part of A2RD's second-ever class of new skaters back in 2011 and learned how to roller skate on used skates that were two sizes too big! Later that year, I moved to San Francisco for an internship and skated with Bay Area until returning to Ann Arbor in 2012, and I've been skating here ever since. I have also been a skater for Team Michigan (the state's all-star team) since 2014.
