She loves New York and divides/divided her time between there and Los Angeles.
When asked in an interview in January 1999, if there were any ex-member of "Sunset Beach" (1997) that she missed working with, she said that she missed working with Nick Stabile (Mark in SB) and that he was meaty and that she wished they had explored him more.
When she and her "Sunset Beach" (1997) co-star Timothy Adams were sitting together in Aaron Spelling's office, she found out that she and Tim only lived ten blocks apart in New York, they had the same friends and had worked as models for the same clients but, oddly enough, had never bumped into each other.
She were involved in a drama club and was also a cheerleader whilst attending high school.
She wrote a song for the "Charmed" (1998) episode in which she appeared ("Prewitched"). As a result, she is now a member of ASCAP (American Society of Composers Authors and Publishers). The song was entitled "Charmed Chant".
Other family members: brother Mike (he's working as an auto-mechanic in Ohio), sister Lisa Saum, who's also working as an actress and she also has a nephew (son to her brother) who was born in 1997.
She transferred from Ohio State University after one semester, to New York University where she got a major in psychology. While she studied in New York she did modeling work and worked as a waitress. She was later going to to attend John Jay College to pursue a degree in criminal justice but she quit school because she got a job offer that brought her over to the west coast.
