Derby wife?  Currently taking applications.

Why this derby name and number?   I'm a goofy person who is awkward at times.( Awkward Turtle)  Also I've got to represent the 4 big artists & turtles!  Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo!  As for my number 278, when my little sister learned her 123 ABC's, she actually learned 278 ABC.  It was so cute how everything she counted was 278278278.

How did you get into derby?  I saw a flyer in a basement of the student center on SIUC campus.  I emailed the SIRG group and immediately got a response and joined.  I felt welcomed from day one.
