Heather Wilson




What is your typical work day like?
When I come in I set up the bars, get ice, get the liquor out. We clean up, get the room ready, put the menus out, put crackers on the table. We have to make sure we're stocked, because lunch in the summertime is crazy. Then we do everything in the 19th Hole. We bus, we take orders and serve, make drinks, and at the end of the night we clean up and put everything away, so we can pull it out the next morning and start again.

How long have you worked here?
Just over a year, now.

What were your previous jobs?
I started out babysitting, I think most girls do, and then I became a pharmacy technician. That's someone who helps the pharmacist. We counted pills, took calls, input information in the computer and waited on people.

What did you want to be when you were growing up?
A vet, a teacher, a pharmacist, medicine really interested me.

Where is your favorite place and where would you like to go in the future?
I went on a Royal Caribbean cruise to the Caribbean and it was awesome, it's so tropical, it was gorgeous.


I would love to go to Italy. I'm Italian, partially, and my relatives from there just moved to the US. Last summer I went to visit them when they came to visit my grandparents in Georgia, and it was awesome meeting them.

What are your interests and hobbies?
I like to be outside. I like sports and movies. I love to cook, and bake. I love to listen to music and go to concerts.

What are some of your favorite bands?
My favorite band is Disturbed. I also like System Of A Down, Lady Gaga. But I listen to everything. Rap, pop, rock, lots of music.

What is the best concert you've ever been to?
Disturbed, of course. I was in the second row, it was amazing! I started going to shows when I was 7 and I've been to more than I can count. My first concert was KISS!



What books do you like?
Mostly fiction, I like the Chelsea Handler books, the Harry Potter series, the Twilight series. I also really like ‘Fallen Angels’ by Walter Dean Myers.



What TV shows do you like to watch?
‘Criminal Minds’ - hands down my favorite. ‘How I Met Your Mother’. I love ‘Will and Grace’ and ‘Frasier’.

What are some of your favorite movies?
‘The Dark Knight’. I had that on my iPod and I used to watch it every day when I would commute back and forth to Philly, I think I can recite the whole movie. ‘10 Things I Hate About You’, ‘Ratatouille’, ‘Monsters, Inc.’, ‘Because I Said So’ with Mandy Moore, the Underworld series. ‘American History X’.


Name something you would love to do one day.
I'd like to go skydiving, because I hate heights, just to get over that fear (laughs). But I probably won't, I'm such a scaredy cat. I’d like to get married, have kids and be successful.

What is the best compliment someone could give you?
I'm giving, or ‘you're my favorite person’.

If you could go back and give the teen age version of yourself advice, what would you tell her?
Be more adventurous, and be more spontaneous.
