Aimee's life journey began amidst the stark contrasts of her dual upbringing in Pennsylvania and County Clare, Ireland, where she developed a profound passion for performance at a remarkably young age, steadfastly refusing to conform to traditional expectations. Initially, she garnered international recognition as an elite athlete, shattering new ground by becoming the first individual in history to participate in the NCAA as an amputee, sprinting alongside top Division I track athletes for Georgetown University's nationally renowned and highly accomplished team. This remarkable achievement catapulted her carbon-fiber legs into the global spotlight, earning her widespread acclaim and recognition. Aimee is a decorated Paralympic gold medalist, holding multiple World Records in the 100-meter dash and long jump, a testament to her unwavering dedication and perseverance.
As a distinguished scholar on full scholarship from the Defense Department, she earned a double major in History and Diplomacy from Georgetown University's esteemed School of Foreign Service in 1998, further solidifying her academic credentials. Aimee's foray into modeling began with Alexander McQueen's 1999 London show, marking the beginning of a successful career in the fashion industry. Her film debut as the lead actress in the cult classic, Cremaster 3 (2002),directed by the renowned artist Matthew Barney, cemented her status as a talented and versatile performer.
