so when I started roller derby nobody
knew what it was but it took off because
our passion behind it
this is kind of cool it's kind of like
football on skates and and so I saw them
like we can do that like we could
absolutely do that and we're gonna make
it at hometown team but it became much
more than I mean we became a family we
still all are a family I think des
moines provides a good opportunity for
for entrepreneurs for sure and and
people to create this life that they do
want because if you wanted to do
something here you could do it if it's
not here bring it to Des Moines this is

a great place for opportunities to occur
like that Des Moines does not hold you
back we all have this idea that we could
make life better we all believe that and
I think that's what makes Des Moines
special well so I've been an IT
recruiter for 13 years now I liked being
able to make that impact people that
call their windows I think I'm gonna be
a life coach that's how I got really
into coaching was that I wanted to make
a bigger impact on people and their
lives outside we're just moving there
from job to job Des Moines is all about
acceptance whether that's cultural
diversity accepting of new ideas

innovations creations ways to do things
better the thing that makes Des Moines
unique is its people I think we've made
you know a lot of great connections here
with with people whether it's
the roller-derby life or whether it's
from your work or whether it's our
daycare people become a part of your
life good place to raise kids I feel
very safe in my neighborhood I feel safe
