| Born: | Oct 16, 1964 San Jose, California |
| College: | Graduated in 1987 with a degree in Economics from UCLA |
| Handicap: | Technically, I am a pro....so zero...however, I've been known to negotiate on the first tee. |
| Favorite movie: | As a child, Mary Poppins, no doubt. Of late, Shakespeare in Love. |
| Favorite food: | Any fresh fruit, tomatoes off the vine and grilled salmon. |
| Favorite music: | Impossible to pick as my tastes are so diverse. I love listening to classical...Mozart or Bach...anything Baroque. R&B and Classic Soul. Any tune from the Beatles or Chris Issac will make me smile. |
| Golf tip: | Completely relax your shoulders, arms, and hands. Tension is the root of all evil in the swing. Listen for the ball to fall into the hole on those short putts! |
| Notes: | Member of the 1986 World Cup Team |

Made a hole-in-one at the LPGA's 1988 Konica San Jose Classic. |
