Alexandra Slamilton, also known as Heather Linde, has been playing roller derby in Utah with the Happy Valley Derby Darlins for two seasons, and loves every minute of it. She skates with their recreational team and bench coaches the junior league. In her everyday life, she’s a teaching assistant for at-risk and state custody students, works with the Harry Potter Alliance and Girls on Track, and writes whenever she can. Her dream is to be an author and be on the travel team on her league.
