She's known internationally as the first woman to sail solo
around Antartica, a celebrated explorer who fought through
unimaginable trials en route to setting her world record. But

bullied at school. She headed off to university determined to shed
the mask she wore in high school, and later learned the importance
of viewing failure not as falling short, but not trying at all. She
found her life's calling when a sailing journey with a friend led
her to fall in love with the sea ... and the beauty and adventure
it offers.
