45-year-old Jenny Huang is the kind of person that makes you feel more enthusiastic about life after just five minutes of chatting with her. The race-winning mother of two teenaged children isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
“I was born in Taiwan and raised in Spring, Texas. I was seven years old when my family moved to the United States of America,” Jenny tells us.
A KID IN AMERICA
“I was actually very much an academic nerd and an over-achiever in school. I became President of Spanish Club, got trophies in Math and Science Fairs and then also got my letterman jacket in typing! Yes I said typing, this was in the 1980s when it was once relevant to type on a properly heavy typewriter and not computer.”
She eventually graduated in America with a Masters in Physiotherapy with top honours. Jenny says that she didn't do much sports but played outside a lot, exploring the neighbourhood with her friends daily.
