PERSONALITY: Charismatic, Outgoing, Leader, Fashionista

Feeling great! I’m 38 and daily I have people come up and ask me how I look the way I do. My philosophy is if you feel great you will look great. Feeling great on the inside is where it all starts. I have learned a lot through training and competing. It has made me physically strong, flexible and agile. It has also helped me build emotional strength and a strong character. I love meeting people and showing them that sport has more of an impact than just what meets the eye.

 

Over coming a life threatening eating disorder and having an amazing relationship with my body and myself. I have won multiple national titles and have medals from the world championships, but being a confident woman is what I’m most proud of.

 

I don’t have heroes because I feel the person you should look up to the most is the person you want to be!

 

The people I have met and the amazing experiences that I have had. I have friends worldwide because of sport. I love speaking to students and groups. Sharing what I have learned is by far the most enjoyable part of my athletic experience.

 

Your feet carry you through life. They also leave your imprint on this earth. So taking care of them is like telling yourself, "I am important and I deserve to take the best care of myself as possible, because what I do, whom I influence and where I go matters. The difference I make is important.” My feet have quite a job. They have carried me thousands of miles in my running, they have spent umpteen hours on the tennis court (during my tennis career), and they have walked countless hours during my travels. I want to have the best relationship possible with my feet so treating them like royalty is a must!
