She told Haute Living San Francisco, “I have always been a person who prioritized exercise and a disciplined lifestyle in terms of physical and mental activity.

Exercise and physical activity not only help me stay in shape for the endeavors of personal and professional life, they also give my daily life structure and focus.”

I was supposed to be crawling on my hands and knees but as soon as I spotted them I suddenly stood bolt upright to wave. My teacher, Mrs Meeby, shouted from the side of the stage, ‘Judith! Get down!'”
