Tess is the newest incarnation in the long tradition of Eclipsers From Seattle, and we are thrilled to have her! In her childhood, Tess’s experimental side didn’t always produce great results (for evidence, see the photos of when elementary school Tess chopped off all her bangs), but when you combine it with her excellent field sense, it certainly makes her a great handler! Her ability to read the field, which likely stems from her superhuman directional sense, makes Tess stand out as a player, as do her insane hucks and her speed – which earned her the nickname “Jets” back in her soccer days. As well as Frisbee, Tess appreciates Hamilton the musical, Lyman the cat, and dumplings the food. She’s an avid chef who especially loves making baked goods and mashed potatoes – if she were a kitchen utensil, she would be an electric mixer so as to contribute to the production of these dishes on an even deeper level. This appreciation for food is accompanied by an appreciation for snow that will ensure her success in Minnesota.
Though Tess can definitely be described as a badass frisbee player/human in general, she secretly yearns for the “wholesome” days of 1st grade. Since 1st grade is no longer an option for Tess, she seeks out this wholesomeness in other ways – namely, by living vicariously through the ever-happy snowman Olaf from Frozen, and by surrounding herself with the amazing folks in the ultimate community. Tess has some doubts about her ability to survive the Hunger Games, but with her spirit, Frisbee skills, and dedication, we have no doubts that she’ll be a fabulous addition to Eclipse!
