Born May 21, 1974 her primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Wood Tiger. Passion and creativity are the hallmarks of the Wood Tiger. What a great sign for the performing arts or any career that puts her in front of the public where she can use her creative ability and, or, leadership skills. She is the most mellow of Tigers and therefore not so domineering. She tends to be very popular, especially since she is probably charismatic.
