ABOUT

When is your birthday?

October 25.

What is your sign?

I’m a Scorpio!

Do you speak Vietnamese?

Definitely yes! I speak it very fluently. Fortunately for me, my whole family speaks Vietnamese so it makes it a lot easier to maintain the language. My parents are both from Vietnam and I’m the first generation born here. But that doesn’t mean I should lose my native language. I believe that one should never forget where he or she comes from or lose that identity. Being able to speak the language fluently is a wonderful gift!

What kind of music do you listen to?

My taste in music varies so much. It definitely depends on my mood and where I am. In my car, I have a few techno CDs, Norah Jones, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, a Hip-Hop remix, Shania Twain … But when I’m at home relaxing, it’s jazz all the way!

What is your beauty secret and how do you keep in such great shape?

I eat healthy, work out regularly, drink lots and lots of water and definitely never ever go to bed without washing my face followed by a facial moisturizer!

When did your interest in personal health start?

I began competing in sports very early in my life, which I talk a lot about in my book, “Active Girls, Healthy Women.” As I continue to remain active throughout my adolescent and adult life I felt it was only natural for me to pursue it throughout my life. I really love sports and enjoy being healthy and keeping in shape. For me it’s truly is a lifestyle!

How do you stay fit?

I do a lot of different exercises. My passion is weight training but I also kick box as well (IE, jump rope, speed bag, heavy bag, the mitts). I try to combine different styles of training to my routine in the event an acting opportunity presents itself. I also enjoy different styles so that I can keep my body guessing. If you stick to a certain routine, the body tends to get bored and used to the workout that you most likely won’t get the result that you’re after.

What is your secret or key to your success?

Never give up and strive to be the best you can be at everything and anything that you do! And most importantly, NEVER compromise your integrity and always be yourself!

What’s the best advice you can give about how to be successful?

Never settle for second best and always have faith, trust and believe in yourself! Anything is possible ONLY if you work hard for it!

What do you think your flaws are in both your personality and appearance?

Definitely everyone has flaws and no one is perfect. I believe that flaws built character! Yes, I have flaws, lots of them as a matter of fact. But that’s what makes up who I am. I also discuss a lot about this in detail in “Active Girls, Healthy Women” as well!

What do you think is sexy?

Gosh I think there are so many things that define the word sexy. But here are my list of favorites:

• Intelligence
• Confidence
• Kindness
• Desire to be better
• Charity
• Spontaneity
• Generosity
• Smiles
• Trust
• Confidence
• A gift from the heart
• Beaches
• Fireplaces
• Humor
• A first kiss
• Cuddling on the couch
• Admitting you were wrong
• Forgiveness
• Sensitivity

What do you think is your best feature?

Definitely my eyes! There’s something about eyes that I find very captivating, mysterious and sexy. They tell a story. They are pathways to our souls. Through my eyes, you can see my feelings, my thoughts, my emotions, my dreams, my fears and my pain. They are so expressive and if you look hard enough, you will find all that is you need to know and everything about me.

Describe for me how you would like to be viewed in the public eye.

There are so many qualities in a person that should be admired, but to sum it up in a few words: I would hope to be remembered as:

1. Someone who is honest, kind, sincere, dependable and loving.
2. A hard worker, who tries her best in everything she chooses to do, giving a 150% even when things seem impossible.
3. Someone who lives her life to her fullest potential but can appreciate the little things.
4. Her heart, her will and determination. Her desire to be the best and passion to be nothing less than #1!

Describe your perfect date.

A romantic candle light dinner by the ocean on a deserted island on a beautiful summer night, accompanied with sounds of Frank Sinatra playing in the background. Follow that by a walk on the beach, while holding each others hands as the sounds of the ocean waves crash against the shore. Wind blowing against our faces, and watching the move amazing sunset ever!

Do you have any sisters?

Yes, I have two older sisters and a sister in-law whom I call my sister and hold her very dear to my heart. Unfortunately, my oldest sister lives in Colorado and we don’t get to see each other as often as I’d like us to. However, I’m fortunate to have the other two living very close nearby and I am extremely close to them both. They are definitely my best friends and I love them to pieces! Love you Tweety & Kerry!

What do you look for in a guy?

A guy who is caring, down to earth with a big heart, positive attitude and a great personality with a touch of spontaneity in him. He has to be a lot of fun, and not afraid to be a kid once in a while. Someone who is romantic, sensitive, genuine, intelligent, warm, knows how to be a gentlemen, love his family and friends, keeps himself healthy and physically fit. A good sense of humor is key – I love to laugh!

Are you a sports fan? If so what is your favorite sport?

I’m a mage huge sports fan, especially football! I love football and baseball games! Though to be quite honest, I would much rather play them than watch. I always enjoy trying or watching new or different type of sports.

Do you want to have children?

DEFINITELY YES! I adore and love children to death.

• Make “Active Girls, Healthy Women” a staple in young girls literary diet
• Travel all over the country to help educate and motivate young girls to be healthy, fit and strong through proper nutrition, diet and exercise!
