Her accomplishments include money finishes in 10 World Series of Poker Tournaments including 2 second place finishes, a third place finish, and a fourth place finish. She is a known perfectionist. She is one who is hardcore loyal towards her family commitments. She hates the abusive language that people speak in the room while playing. She rates Barry Greenstein as her most respected player, which is not surprising at all.
