SOUTH SOUND

How’d you get your derby name?

Well, I was driving down the road, thinking about Macho Man Randy Savage (as one does) and the idea came to me to switch the R and the S. Plus, I often get mistaken as Sandy instead of Sami, so it kind of worked out.

How long have you been playing roller derby?
Like, two months 🤣. I joined the league last year but took some space until bootcamp. Now, I’ve been going solid since January!

What two things can you not live without?

Oh man. My bed and coffee. Preferably together.

What is a hobby of yours?

I’m kind of a hobby collector. I make candles, crochet, read and do hair!

Favorite song of all time?

“Rid of Me” by PJ Harvey.

Pre/post-bout snacks?

I’ve only done one bout, and I can tell you, when it was done, all I wanted was a slice of pizza.

Favorite thing about SSRD?

I could go on forever. One of my personal values is community. I love how welcoming and encouraging everyone has been. When I’m struggling with something, there has always been someone there who will take the time to help me out. I feel really loved and valued as a member of the league. Plus, everyone is so cool. It’s like, who wouldn’t want to come hang out with some of the coolest people in the South Sound?
