What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
The craziest thing I've ever done is going cliff jumping. A friend and I jumped off a 20-foot cliff at the Gorge in Washington State. We asked a few locals where we should jump, but we didn't scout the area for rocks or depth before we jumped. Luckily, we didn't end up as nominees for the Darwin Award.

What would be your "dream job" in life?
I would love to have my own television show on Court TV.

Name one personal accomplishment (in addition to being a State Titleholder) that makes you especially proud.
My mom and I took care of my very ill great-grandmother for 6 years instead of placing her in a nursing home. As a child, my great-grandmother was my nanny and best friend. When I was 10, she contracted viral encephalitis and almost died. Our family came together and provided 24-hour nursing care for her. I'm proud of this accomplishment because I got the chance to take care of her as she took care of me as a child.

What are your hobbies and favorite activities?
Volleyball, wakeboarding, running, reading, traveling, shopping, swimming.
