DOLL SINCE//September 2006

TEAM(S)// Retired

PRIMARY POSITION//Blocker, Jammer

BIO//Her favorite word is 'verisimilitude', though that's subject to change. Her least favorite word is 'lazy'. She loves competition. She doesn't like whiners. She loves the sound of thunder, and hates the sound of car horns. Her favorite curse word rhymes with hover-trucker. A profession other than hers she would like to attempt is photography. A profession she would not like to do is cook, though she appreciates those who do. If heaven exists, she would like to hear God say "Girl, you're gonna love this" when she arrives at the pearly gates.

She is currently an all-star skater, a fixture of the Training and Recruitment committee and has joined Marketing so she can work with some amazing roller derby photographers.

ATHLETIC BACKGROUND//Berlin has tried many athletic activities but was never able to commit to any until roller derby up and stole her heart. It was love at first sight when she watched her first bout ever as the cumbersomely named Business Barrettes skated against the Bad Betties in July of 2006. She tried out was inducted into the league September of that year, was drafted to the Green Barrettes and skated her first bout in February 2007 and joined the Mile High Club that summer. ECDX of 2008 saw her receive a knee injury while playing Gotham and she retired for a miserable year after that. She re-joined DRD in May of 2009, and this time was drafted to the Shotgun Betties. She re-made MHC in time to be able to skate with them at Nationals of that year, when Mile High took 3rd in the nation. She skated with the Denver Roller Dolls B-team, Bruising Altitude from the summer of 2009 to Spring of 2010, long enough try her hand at captainship and to get the opportunity to scrimmage against the Contenders before being able to step into a full time position on MHC.
