I’ve been skating ramps and bowls on my roller skates since 2014 and I played roller derby for an internationally competitive team between 2006 and 2013.
In 2020, I was featured as a roller skater in a music video for the band Dream Nails.
I’ve also written articles on skating, including:
I interviewed a new generation of London roller skaters who are pushing forward what’s possible in the scene. Featuring Ayy Skates, Skate With Sis, Watch My Wheels and Skate Tingz.
I wrote a cover story for Huck magazine on jam skater
Amir Bacchus-Marquis and his efforts to keep his community thriving through lockdown.
In January 2020, I co-created a quarterly zine about ramp skating called Staple Gun with Julie Day and interviewed skaters from around the world, including:
I reported from Lebanon on Roller Derby Beirut, focusing on displaced Yemeni student and skater Hadeel Hassan.
The story was adapted into a short film that appeared on the National Geographic’s Short Film Showcase and The Atlantic’s Editors’ Picks and went viral online.
