Interviewed one of my underwater beauty clients Angela who is a professional mermaid model and a travel nurse. She worked as a mermaid at Weeki Wachee Springs before that ?? I have so much respect towards nurses because I was hospitalized after my car accident. Thank you so much for what you do ? ??
.
What inspired you to be a mermaid?
.
I grew up in Spring Hill Florida where Weeki Wachee Springs is located. My family took me to see the mermaid shows since I was 2. I grew up always wanting to be a Weeki Wachee Mermaid. After high school I went to Surgical Technologist school and worked with a travel nurse who had a friend that was a mermaid in the 50s. I met her at the Christmas show and applied for a mermaid position. I tried out in January and made it!!! It was the best three and a half years ever!!!
.
What inspired you to become a travel nurse?
.
I always knew I was going to go to nursing school. My love for travel started in 2008 and I couldnt wait to travel for work. My first assignment was in New York City!! I absolutely loved it and continued travel nursing until I found my forever home in San Francisco ??
.
What is the hardest moment youve experienced and what is the best moment?
.
The hardest moments were definitely nursing school!! The best moments have been with my family and during my travels!!!!
.
Whats your dream?
.
Thankfully Ive gotten to live most of my dreams ??????????????? Now my dreams consist of more traveling and buying a houseboat!!! Everywhere is on my list!! ??? And maybe finding my dream guy! And a dream Ive had since I was very little….to take a photo with Daryl Hannah in tails!!!!????????

Thank you so much Angela ?? I cant wait to catch up and hear your travel stories!!.
