1. During all the long hours of traveling, what do you do to pass your time?
I enjoy watching movies and listening to my ipod. If not for these things, I would be sleeping.
2. What would you be doing if you were not a synchronized swimmer?
I would probably be playing golf, figure skating or dancing.
3. If you could be any celebrity, who would you chose?
For sure, Jessica Alba. She's HOT!
4.What is your favorite kind of candy?
Sour belts! ....and of course anything with peanut butter and chocolate.
5.What is your favorite song to get pumped up?
I have lots but just to give a shout out to my BABAM roomies..."Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi.
6. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
Nothing beats the coast of San Diego. It's considered to have the best weather in the nation! ...not to mention jetskiing on mission beach is a dream!
7.What is your major and what is your dream job?
Well, my current major is Korean however, when I get back to school I plan
on studying nutrition. Either that or optometry.
8.After a long, hard week of training, what do you do to reward
yourself?
Treat myself to a nice "Extra HOT Tall Soy Chai Tea Latte w/ an Extra pump
of Chai" from good ol' Starbucks! ...this and perhaps some cookie dough ice
cream. mmhmmm.
9.How do you get into the right frame of mind before a performance?
I like to visualize my routine in my head with the music and then right
before I compete, I like to say a little prayer to "the man upstairs" for
strength and guidance.
10.Who has been your biggest role model in synchronized swimming?
I've always admired Lauren McFall from the 2004 Olympic Team. I was
extremely mesmerized by her "tiger" solo at Senior Nationals. I remember
watching her and saying to myself.."I want to be just like her! She has
amazing artistic presentation!"
11. What is your favorite synchro movement?
Probably the splits because it's the only thing I know I can get a perfect
10 on. hahaha.
