In life when you go with your passion and take that huge risk, that’s when you become the most successful.

Growing up with two brothers definitely made me a tomboy. I competed with them in every sport—from soccer to ice hockey to snowboarding. I still compete in a man’s world, but am very much a girl. I always carry a huge cosmetics bag filled with 25 pounds of makeup, lotion and other girly stuff. My biggest dream was to medal in the Olympics, and I won the silver. The challenge, experience and accomplishment were the high point of my life so far.
