June 19, 2024 9:31 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

How long have you been in the attractions industry?

19 Years

What is your favorite job you’ve had in the industry and why?

My Favorite role was being a part of the Opening Team of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Not only did it teach me project management, but it allowed me to learn more about Disney as a whole including a beloved set of characters in a whole new land. It truly transformed my life in the best of ways.

What is the most rewarding aspect of working in/for the attraction industry?

For me, being with the Guests and watching their reactions to what we have all around us. The theme park industry allows Guests to leave their current world and be immersed into a whole new type of fun! This energizes me and helps me ideate different experiences we can help bring to life.

What do you enjoy doing in your leisure time?

I love visiting the attractions here in Florida with my family. Recently, we just did a St Augustine beach trip and because of FAA, we saw things we had never seen before. When we’re not traveling, you can find me with a book in hand sitting by the pool.

Aside from Florida, what is your dream vacation destination and why?

I really want to go see Paris. To visit the museums, be immersed in their culture and history and of course visit Disneyland Paris!
