Slaybretooth Tiger #11
Pronouns: She/her
Height: Almost 5’3
Significance of Name/Number: I used to steal my brother’s X-men action figures when we were kids, and my nickname from my coworkers is Tiger. Then I added an extra little spin on it because it’s my goal to slay every time I’m on the track. As for the number, it’s the age I moved to Ellensburg, plus it sort plays on the imagery of the sabre tooth’s most prominent feature.
Likes: My dogs, scrapbooking, photography, musicals, randomly quoting movies and tv shows in my daily dialogue, live theatre, sarcasm, sleep, being warm and skating!
Dislikes: Winter, ice, snow, wind…. really anything cold that you can’t eat.
Hometown: Ellensburg,WA
Occupation: Stage Manager / Security Tech
Favorite After-Party Beverage: Any kind of Canadian Whiskey
Derby Birthday: August 22, 2016
BIO: Canadian born, American raised. I spent a lot of my childhood in Alabama. My family moved here in 2001. When I graduated high school I stayed and attended university here. Then I didn’t want to leave so I put down my roots in this beautiful town and I don’t intend to leave anytime soon.
