Molecular biologist.

It’s just a play on the name Anastasia.
Tailbone protector or padded shorts?
Padded shorts, which I learned do not protect against a broken tailbone.
Were you a troublemaker as a kid? How about now?
Not as a kid. Not really as an adult either.
What do you like to do outside of derby?
I like to go camping with my husband and our dogs. I love gardening and reading, and I attempt to knit. I also play bass and sing in a band.
What advice would you give to someone looking to enter the world of derby?
Just give it a try. It’s not as scary as it seems.
