She had an ablation for Supra-ventricular Tachycardia in 7th Grade and in her freshman year of high school. These experiences have taught Tori a lot about resilience and overcoming obstacles. During school and college, Tori was a competitive athlete and still takes part in athletics today. She is the author of the inspirational book: From Vulnerable to Victorious: Turning Your Chronic Illness Into Your Victory Story, and has her own website and Instagram to motivate and inspire others.
