​

My greatest derby accomplishment is:

returning from the penalty box in the final jam of the Cornament (tournament), securing the win for QCR. I actually thought we had lost because of my 30 second trip to the penalty box (as a jammer). I was quite relieved to see our final score was just a few point ahead of the other team.

​

If I could tell myself one thing when I started playing, I would say:

Pay attention to your offense.
