Annie Beth did her internship at Dorothea Dix psychiatric hospital in Raleigh, which no longer exists. She has a degree in music therapy and psychology, but ended up becoming a brand and project manager. Why not, right?

As a young teen she wore a TLSO jacket (back brace) for scoliosis. She was able to quit wearing it early because she stopped growing in the 8th grade. Didn't quite make it to 5 feet, so the situation was a tradeoff.

Annie Beth's family has one dog, one cat, one guinea pig, one fish, three birds, one horse, four donkeys and an unknown number of goats. (They keep multiplying.) Also four kids. The kids are more expensive to feed.
