Why did you decide to audition for Finding Magic Mike?: “Funny story. My roommate graciously sent me the link while I was handling some business in the men’s room. Jokingly, I sat there, as my legs go numb, applying to what would then change my life. Part of me believed that, even though I was applying as a joke, that this was a competition tailor-made for my personality type. Stripping, humor, a talking tummy, I had all the ingredients to succeed in this space.”
What does dancing mean to you?: “Before this show, dancing was used as my sole emotional outlet. While not being a professional, a little twerk here-and-there got me through some of my darkest days. There is something particularly freeing about playing your favorite song and just foolishly living through that music. Dancing, to me, is bliss. Dance, and what your body could do through movement, is living.”
Do you have a secret hidden talent?: “I’m ridiculously good at Dance Dance Revolution. Sadly, employers never care about this when I list it as my only special skill, what the heck is up with that?”
