About me: I am 30 years old, I live in Kingman, Arizona with my husband, Bill, and my daughter, Cherissa. I have only been married for about 2 1/2 years, and was a single parent for 9 years. I was born and raised in Phoenix, living in CA for about 5 years. I started my health field career as a Medical Assistant, got trained in Medical Billing, and then 2 years ago opened my own medical billing service. I decided to turn my love of poker into a business venture and opened www.PantherPoker.com on 5/1/04. It's been a rough and bumpy road owning two businesses for the past 4 months, but my goal is to eventually sell my medical billing service and operate PantherPoker.com full time with my traveling the tournament circuit to both promote the site and to become a Professional Tournament Poker Player. My ultimate dream and goal is to be the first woman to win the WSOP. My first dream and goal is to win ANY WSOP event so that I can be the owner of one of those bracelets.
Poker Experience: I started playing poker about 4 years ago, I can blame it all on my Mom as she had given me a Casino CD Rom game that had 7 card Stud on it. I started playing online at Yahoo!, then found PokerRoom.com. It took me a full year to get up the courage to play at a real table, and that's all she wrote!
Poker Wins: PartyPoker.com Million Cruise (1200+ entrants, took the cash amount instead of cruise, $7K)
About 7-8 1st place finishes online (various sites)
About 20-30 Final Table finishes online (various sites)
Over 100 "In the Money" finishes online (various sites)
I play online everyday for about 7 hours, not counting weekends. Due to the amount of time spent playing, I have no idea on the exact number of placements so I just estimated above.

LIVE PLAY:
1st Omaha Hi/Lo Colorado Belle 2004 ($1090)
12th NL HE Orleans Open 2004 ($600)
Took 7 out of 10 single table satellites with "Satellite Sam" at
Golden Nugget during WSOP.
