Q: When did you move to the Grand Strand?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I moved to the Grand Strand in 2018 when my husband and I were offered contracts with Legends in Concert. He portrayed Elvis and I was a dancer in the show.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: How long have you been working at AIM and what is your position?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been with AIM since we opened the doors in October of 2019. I was five months pregnant and my time on stage was coming to an end – sequins only stretch so far – so I applied for the receptionist position and have been here ever since. My job and responsibilities have only grown over the past couple of years. I am now the Clinical Director which means I am responsible for ensuring that the clinic runs smoothly, my staff is happy, and our patients are even happier!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What makes you laugh the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love laughing, mostly at myself because as my husband will tell you, I think I\u2019m hilarious. Schitt\u2019s Creek and Parks & Recreation are my all-time favorite TV shows. I\u2019ll put random episodes on from time to time when life gets hard. I really enjoy a comedic memoir though. Anything by Jenny Lawson or Samantha Irby has me laughing out loud to myself like a real lunatic. I sometimes think I need to put pen to paper and write my own hilarious stories. Again, I like to think I\u2019m pretty funny. Right now, though, my two-year-old makes me laugh the most.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Have you ever pulled a funny prank?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my days as a dancer, the pranks were endless. I once blacked out my front tooth during a performance with George Strait while he sang \u201cAll My Exes Live In Texas\u201d and during a stint as an equestrian performer, I painted eyeballs on my eyelids and then attempted to do the entire show with my eyes closed. During my time at Legends in Concert in Branson, MO, I would hide in the wings and pull a toy rat across the stage using a fishing line. That is still one of my favorites. Just remembering all of the shenanigans has me in stitches!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Do you have any pet mishap stories you care to share?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my freshman year of high school, we had this Yorkshire Terrier – Beagle hybrid named Snickers. This was before muts were classified as designer breeds, but I suppose he would\u2019ve been a Yorgle? Or a Beashire? Either way, we didn\u2019t feed him people food but that didn\u2019t stop him from trying to get his paws on human delicacies like ChexMix. I left an open bag on the coffee table once and moments later we\u2019re doing this Tom & Jerry act racing around the living room until I eventually tripped and broke my toe. He ate the entire contents of the bag while I rolled around the floor in agony. Twenty-three years later, and my toe still clicks with every step I take – I won\u2019t be leaving AIM to become a cat burglar anytime soon.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Do you believe that laughing keeps you healthy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course! My 10-year-old son likes to tell me I look 19 (which is a total lie) but people are always assuming I\u2019m younger than I am. I\u2019m going to credit this to laughter and having fun. As George Burns once said \u201cyou can\u2019t help getting older, but you don\u2019t have to get old.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
