What is your skater name and why?

Hi! I’m Betty BrutalizHER! I chose this name because I wanted a mix of something girlie yet tough. Hopefully it scares a few people.

How long have you skated with the PVBRDA?

I will have been a Bruiser for two full years coming up in April! And it has changed my life forever

What position do you play?

I truly like to play all positions! Jamming still intimidates me sometimes but I am warming up to it. Right now my comfort position and what I am good at is blocking.

What do you love most about roller derby?

I love being on my skates! I love the intensity, the physicality, and the adrenaline of the game! I also love how it makes me want o push myself to be better. And last but not least I LOVE MY TEAM!

Who inspires you and why?

I am inspired by people everyday. To pick out one person is impossible. I believe that there are lessons to be learned from everyone and every experience. But I do have to say that my son has inspired me the most. I have learned more about myself and who I want to be since he has came into my life. I am one proud mama bear

Do you have a favorite Derby Girl?

I do not have one favorite derby girl because ALL of the Bruisers are my favorite derby girls!

What is your motto?

My motto in life is “Don’t worry, be happy.” And I live by it!
