About Mercy

Mercy got her first taste of roller derby in Dallas, Texas from 2006-2008 before moving to Honolulu and skating with Pacific Roller Derby for the 2009 and 2010 seasons. In 2011, she joined the Rose City Rollers All-Star Team at nationals and was named RCR’s Blocker of the Year. As the captain in 2014, she lead her team to a gold medal for International Playoffs and a silver medal for International Championships. Mercy is a member of Team USA and a proud member of Team Vagine.

As a coach she believes her job is to challenge skaters, pushing them beyond their self-imposed limitations and to help them play at your highest level of intensity and skill. Her dynamic coaching style echoes the ever changing sport or roller derby.
