When I was younger, I always wanted to be a musician, a performer and an entertainer - but I never thought about becoming a poster or anything like that. It's pretty cool.

I want entrepreneurs to be engineers and scientists and designers; they don't necessarily have to be Internet entrepreneurs or retail entrepreneurs.

I was nerdy girl who went to Catholic school and wanted to be an engineer. I was all set to attend the Illinois Institute of Technology. And then I took a hard left turn and studied Liberal Arts at Northern Illinois University, majored in Communications. Then worked in radio as a disk jockey and as the weather girl.

I just am a huge cheerleader for getting kids interested in science and technology.

I'm a poster child for Luddites. It was a challenge for me to open myself up the tech world.

You don't have to be a nerd or a programmer or a network engineer to make a difference.

I want to be one that is willing to do things that are not easy but that need to be done.

I didn't ask anyone to make me a poster boy, because poster boys always end up on dart boards.

I would like to be somebody young people, young girls, can look up to.
