Q. How did you find yourself working in the tanning industry?
A close friend worked for Heartland Tanning and was always going on about it being a family business, how much she loved the relationships she had with her customers and that it was the best industry to work in. About five years ago, I was working in the medical field and feeling pretty beat up, so I left it for a business support rep position with Heartland.
I soon learned that everything my friend said about it was true!
Q. What/where was your very first job?
At age 16, I was a dance instructor at the Expressions in Dance studio in Raytown, MO.
Q. How would your friends describe you?
They would say “strange” but I like to think they mean “unique.” I often randomly quote movies or song lyrics during conversations and am also obsessed with folding laundry.
Q. What is one of your “pet peeves?”
Admittedly, I have several; however, I would say the biggest is when someone misspells my name in a communication when the spelling is also my email address. It’s not a hidden detail! It’s right there in the email!
Q. Do you hit the snooze button in the morning or wake up immediately?
SNOOZE! Alarms are only a suggestion, right?
Q. What’s something people would never guess about you?
That my “mini-me” daughter is adopted! I love it when people say she looks just like me.
Q. What are you most excited about in your life right now?
My daughter will be starting her senior year of high school. It’s exciting planning everything but honestly, if I had a “rewind” button, I would keep her with me forever.
