It’s worth it!

How / Why you started: I saw a bout when working out of Jackson, WY in 2012 and knew instantly that this was something I needed to do. We were relocating to the Wilmington area that fall. I looked up CFRG, went to the next tryout, and have been skating ever since.
Favorite Derby Moment: The few instances when I’ve been one of only two blockers on the track at the start of a jam and been able to draw a penalty on the opposing jammer, giving us a power jam and time to get the other blockers out of the penalty box.
Inspiration for name: It’s an old nickname given for my ability to randomly predict unimportant things in the future.
Real job: A real life Leslie Knope
