Since I was 8 months old, till I was 12, I did commercials and ads and cute little stuff for kids. Then I had braces on my teeth. They took them off when I was 16, and then I started modeling more seriously and doing more fashion.

As a little girl, I was always shy, but in front of the camera I wasn't.

Happiness is when you love who you are and you are able to accept yourself and others.

I get to travel, see the world, meet people and be independent. I feel blessed.

I was the youngest kid on our street in Baltimore, and I was always playing sports with kids who were older than me. You learn a lot that way.

I know there are sort of misnomers that women's hockey isn't as physical or fast as the guys, but women's hockey is very dynamic and tactful in its own ways. It's just as respectable of a sport as any male counterpart.

This is the World Cup, and you need all the elements in place: a good coach, luck, and a cohesive team unit are fundamental requirements.

I want to change the sport for the better. I want to do a lot for women's tennis.
