SKATER OF THE MONTH

Beans from South Sound Roller Derby

BEANS

How’d you get your derby name?

I was testing out different derby names when I belched (y’all know the ones) and a friend that I had at the time said “Beans” as a joke (pretty sure I was eating beans at the time).  But I tried it at practice and it stuck.

 

How long have you been playing roller derby?

On and off since 2017. I have taken time off for injuries and life events and have been playing consistently again since 2023.

 

What two things can you not live without?

My family and my bed (tied with chocolate).

 

What is a hobby of yours?

Other than skating? I like to read, hike, and go camping.

 

Favorite song of all time?

There are too many to choose from! Purple Yellow Red and Blue – Portugal. The Man is my go to when I need comfort music. Pink Pony Club – Chappell Roan is my favorite song to dance to with my kid.

 

Pre/post-bout snacks?

Salad, protein, and bagels pre-bout. Candy and carbs during the bout. And lots of protein and Oreos after bout!!

 

Favorite thing about SSRD?

The commitment to growth from the bottom to the top of the league. The community this team provides to everyone, and that everyone has a spot here regardless of whether or not you skate! And that when I walk into practice everyone goes “Beans!!” It makes me feel loved. 🥰
