On her comeback from the serious injury and if it can inspire others:
“There’s no question of whether or not I’ll come back from this, it’s more when I’ll come back. Will it take a lot of hard work and dedication, pain and suffering? Probably. But do I think about the type of role model that I can be to someone who is going through the same thing? Absolutely!”
