Aura Mackenzie is a recent import to San Diego from London, England. You won’t be able to tell from her accent much, although her on-field expletives, for example: “wanker”, “twat”, and “piss off you bloody seppo” are a dead giveaway. The great thing for her is that nobody here really finds any of these particularly insulting. The bad thing for her is that she’s not really current with American pop culture and sometimes feels like she’s missing some essential programming. What are The Hills? Who is Jessica Simpson?
Aura’s been playing ultimate for quite a long time in London – the last 5 years of which have been with the women’s club team Iceni (reigning European champs). If you don’t know what Iceni means, ask Aura sometime – the 2,000-year-old coin she wears when she plays is a cool story. She’s also currently undefeated in San Diego ultimate, having hindered helped Roadhouse to victory at One Love this spring.
Aura is a team player and will throw to absolutely anyone she feels is open, including people who might not realize it (consider yourselves warned). She also appreciates a nice cold beer, or equally a cup of tea. Milk, one sugar – thanks.
