Hydra was an original contributor to the United Leagues Coalition (ULC)--the predecessor to the WFTDA--and has been involved with interleague relations since early 2004. Her responsibilities on the Board of Directors include providing historical knowledge, giving general feedback, and talking about the "good ol' days" when anyone will listen, and even when they won't.
Hydra is a member of the Austin Texas Rollergirls, Inc. She skated with the Hotrod Honeys from 2003 until her retirement in 2006. Hydra also held a role as the first team captain of the all-star Texecutioners, leading the team to victory at WFTDA's first national tournament, the 2006 Dust Devil in Tucson, AZ. She skated primarily as a pivot and retired because of a knee injury. Hydra returned to skating and roller derby in early 2009, joining the Texas Rollergirls Rec-n-Roller Derby. She enjoys the fun and fitness of the recreational league, which is at just the right pace for her old, beat-up body. Hydra was the Interleague Relations Committee chair for the Texas Rollergirls for several years, and remains a member of the committee to this day.
"Hail HYDRA! Immortal HYDRA! We shall never be destroyed! Cut off one limb and two more shall take its place! We serve the Supreme Hydra, as the world shall soon serve us!"
