Disney Publishing

As a child, I dreamed of two things: becoming Ariel and visiting Disney World. While those dreams evolved as I grew, I’m thrilled to say that they have come to life in unexpected ways. My career began in PR within the entertainment industry, and my passion for reading eventually guided me into publishing. Today, I’m incredibly fortunate to be a part of the Disney Publishing Worldwide team, where I oversee publicity for our vertical titles. Though I haven’t quite mastered turning my legs into a mermaid’s fin, I’ve made several magical journeys to Orlando and Anaheim—and I’m determined to keep visiting the happiest, most enchanting places on Earth as often as I can. Dreams do come true, and I’m living proof of that magic every day.
