What is the meaning behind your skater name?
I'm a redhead and I like Gin.
What was your athletic background prior to playing roller derby?
None, really. I played some little league softball but that was it.
Is there a song that gets you pumped up before a bout?
I have many songs, but the Prodigy remix of "Lust for Life" is a good one. Also "Black Out Days" by Phantogram , "Burn" by Elle Goulding, and "The Greatest" by Sia.

I like the competition and camaraderie.
How did you get started in your roller derby career?
My sister knew a skater. I went to watch a few bouts with her and decided to join the Fresh Meat (now Skater Tots) program.
