DOLL SINCE//August 2010
TEAM(S)// Unaffiliated // Mile High Club
PRIMARY POSITION//Jammer
BIO//Swiss grew up mainly in Colorado Springs, from where her area code number comes, but spent a small amount of time traveling as a military brat. She moved up in August '10 to join Denver Roller Dolls. She is easily entertained with yarn and spends her days making people more colorful with a tattoo machine.
ATHLETIC BACKGROUND//With too much energy as a child, Swiss tried a bunch of different sports, but would bore easily from them. At the age of 12, her father introduced her to fencing, which she would eventually give up for derby at 22. In high school and college, she played men's lacrosse and was part of the mountain biking club. After five years of skating, she is still learning new things at roller derby.
