Noemi’s first real game of ultimate frisbee ended with bed rest and preterm labor. Today, she is primarily a spectator and cowbell ringer but is learning with the Mother Huckers as a practice player. Her son (who was born safely a few weeks later) would pick the disc back up a decade or so later and go on to play for Kore, EC-HUC, and Aftershock. Her daughter joined in the fun both as a player and a coach (Belly of the Beast) and has competed on EC-HUC, GO (State Champs!), Cali Roll, California Current, and is currently playing on Clearcut after winning both gold and spirit with Team USA (Mixed) at the World Junior Ultimate Championships.  Outside of frisbee, Noemi enjoys music, writing, and foraging for wild mushrooms. She volunteers for a few different educational organizations and her business card reads “Change Accelerator.”
