Roller Derby.

PictureASU Derby Devils in College Times.
I have the great good fortune to have a badass roller derby alter ego, Stone Cold Jane Austen. ​

I skated from 2020-22 as a rookie with the Arizona Derby Dames, Phoenix's banked track league.

After a break from play, I'm returning to skating flat track, with the amazing and welcoming Roughneck Roller Derby league.

​I also continue to serve as faculty adviser to ASU's co-ed, flat-track roller derby team, the Derby Devils @ ASU.

Want to learn about ASU's history-making first collegiate roller derby bout in 2014? I wrote a little about it in Slate.

Strange but true: I played a fictional version of myself in a never-released, low-budget Jane Austen roller derby vampire movie, 
Vampyras. And as if that weren't weird enough, my friend the poet Cornelius Eady once wrote my alter ego a fabulous theme song, "Stone Cold Jane."
