My Disney journey started long before I joined the company—I grew up as an Annual Passholder, spending countless magical days in the parks. One of my favorite memories is waiting for the ‘Paint the Night’ parade in Disney California Adventure park with some of my best friends, all of us singing along to the iconic ‘When Can I See You Again.’ Later, I officially joined Disney as a cast member, starting in Food & Beverage before moving to Attractions. Now, as part of the Internal Communications team, I have the privilege of telling incredible cast stories and celebrating the people who bring the magic to life. When I’m playing in the park, you’ll definitely find me on my favorite attraction, Big Thunder Mountain—especially at night!
