1. I totally rocked Barbie roller skates when I was 6.
2. When I was a little kid, I wanted to be a fashion designer. While I didn't fulfill that career aspiration, I do own a sewing machine and hope to someday (soon) sew myself a pair of awesome derby booty shorts.
3. My second passion after roller derby is horseback riding. I was a competitive show jumper for over 15 years, taught riding lessons, and even owned a horse named Go-Go.
4. I am a total New Yorker at heart - born in NYC, grew up on LI, went to college in the Hudson Valley, and now have come full-circle, living back in NYC.
5. I'm a huge NY Jets & Yankees fan
6. I've always loved performing - acting, singing, dancing, you name it. In high school, I was in numerous theater productions and sang in an all-girls barbershop a cappella group.
7. I really enjoy crafting and am obsessed with ETSY.
8. I broke my jaw getting my wisdom teeth out and was on a liquid diet for 6 weeks.
9. I majored in Political Science and minored in economics in college.
10. After college, I chopped off all my hair and donated it to charity.
11. In my professional life, I work at an advertising agency. It's like Mad Men, but without all the smoking and drinking and gender inequalities.
12. Speaking of Mad Men, I was once in a bar with a number of the show's cast members... including Jon Hamm! I would say it was my best celebrity sighting. That, or the time I was in a yoga class with an Olsen twin (not sure which one).
13. I played several years of co-ed softball with my company team. I even went to the Advertising Softball World Championship!
14. I'm a compulsive list-maker and carry a Moleskin notebook with me wherever I go.
15. I don't care what people think - I love bad reality television, my Ugg boots, and Facebook.
16. My friends call me the "cruise director" because I'm always the one coordinating and organizing our plans together.
17. While I enjoy getting dressed-up, if it was socially acceptable, I would probably wear pajamas all the time.
18. I hate tuna fish
19. I love photobooths
20. Last year I went to Disney World - and it was just as awesome as when I went as a child (plus, now there is also the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!)
21. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Past costumes have included a Girl Scout, Barbie, a Unicorn, and Justin Bieber.
22. I drive an hour, each-way, to and from derby practice. The drive (and the LIE traffic) would be unbearable if it wasn't for the carload of derby girls that carpool with me and keep me company!
24. I think the most difficult part of the fresh blood process wass choosing just the right derby name.
25. Sporks are the greatest utensils in the world!
