It was in the year of 1992 that she decided to give up her studies at school. From this period of time she took up poker as her professional career. The help and support of her brother gave her a real boost to grow more and more in the world of poker.
The fact that She had a true passion for the game of poker is clearly revealed from the steps that she took in her life.
