Shree said that at the age of only 12, due to heart disease, she had to get a pacemaker implanted. Although the doctors had specifically forbidden to dance or doing hard labor, but as a result of the blessings of the Lord's grace and numerous fans, not only did she achieve proficiency in dance and acting, but also by winning many titles and now the Miss World America pageant. She has qualified to represent US in the Miss World competition. Public service has been her main goal and will try to establish new dimensions by moving on this path, she added.
