What’s your fave sport?
I love all sports and would have a hard time choosing just one, but I make money snowboarding, and I compete as well, so its probably my most lucrative sport.
How many years have you been playing your fave sport?
Funny thing is I have actually only been doing all my sports for going on 4 years, this will be my 4th season snowboarding, and I am in my 4th season wake boarding,less for all the other water sports.
What was your fave sporty moment or memory?
It took me forever to want to learn to snowboard so my favorite memory is when I was finally able to ride all over the mountain with my friends.
What was the biggest lesson you’ve learned from playing your sport?
Respect gets Respect, not that I didn’t know that before but to see how frequently in lessons it is stressed that.
List some awards or accolades you’ve received.
Ranked 2nd in Central Vermont and 7th nationally for Slalom and Giant Slalom.
Who’s your fave athlete, both male and female?
Hannah Teter/Dallas Friday are my favorite female athletes and Rusty Malinoski/Danny Kass are my favorite male athletes.
What’s the girliest thing you like to do? (Pretty Tough signature question)
I am tomboy at heart, but I love to put on a dress and look like a girl whenever possible, and nothing beats a good manicure/pedicure to go with that.
Thanks, Lucille!! Nice pics and I love the Yankees jersey. Best of luck with your career!
