Tiffany is the older sister of Brittany Vise, who is also a pairs skater and a former member of the U.S. National Team ... Vise began skating at age 4 because her parents took her skating and she couldn't get enough ... Participated in the U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills Program ... Previously competed with Ryan Bradley in pairs from 1997-98 ... Also skated with Larry Ibarra from 2001-03, claiming the bronze medal in junior pairs at the 2002 State Farm U.S. Championships ... Previously coached by Irina Vorobieva ... Studying kinesiology at Scottsdale Community College ... Has a 5-year-old dog named Bailey ... Works part-time as a waitress and coach ... Has a passion for making other people smile ... Favorite countries to travel to are China and Norway ... Would like to be on "Deal or No Deal" because the contestants look like they are having so much fun ... Biggest life-defining moment was landing a throw quad Salchow for the first time ... Skates the left-handed way even though she's right handed ... Listens to country music ... Not many people know she has a scar in her eye from when she had a pillow fight with her brother; he hit the light shade and glass got in her eye ... Loves being busy ... Has worked hard to have a life outside of skating ... Both parents work at the Colorado Springs World Arena ... Father is also a high school assistant principal and owns an embroidery business ... Most prized possession is her cell phone; without it she feels lost ... Was on the track team in high school; competed in the 800 meters and pole vault ... Was also involved in student government, Future Business Leaders of America, link crew, French club and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes ... After skating would like to coach and possibly go into occupational therapy.
