Growing up my struggles with Generalized Anxiety Disorder left me feeling that I did not belong or fit in. Annual trips to the theme parks brought me into a vibrant world filled with music, charm, and people who were welcoming and greeted me with a smile. It was a place of acceptance and belonging. I began to wonder how a place can make someone feel that way? This question has inspired an over decade long passion to give back to these environments all that they have given me, an escape from the world. 

In 2022, I found myself fascinated with how the parks operate through my role on the Disney College Program and through my art studies I sought to appreciate the small details that bring stories to life. This passion led me to seek out opportunities to learn about the industry and grow along side people just as passionate about it, by my senior year I served as president of SCAD's Themed Entertainment Association. Where I not only practiced and grew skills in leadership, but also had the ability to share my industry knowledge with incoming students and continue to learn along side them. Additionally, I have become a community builder online through my film/photography skills, to help bring people closer to the immersive worlds/products created in themed entertainment wherever they are in the world.

I look forward to using these skills along with my business insights, communication, time management, organization, and range of design skills-  with the goal of helping to maintain and reimagine the guest experience, allowing them to continue to escape into these worlds of possibilities, away from their worries of today.
