After receiving my B.A. in Strategic Communications, Cinema & Television Arts, and Communication Design, as well as a minor in Dance from Elon University in North Carolina I've started working at Walt Disney World in Florida. Since then, I've enjoyed my time in the Guest Flow Team & Disney Entertainment, helping make countless memories at the most magical place on Earth.
I am extremely grateful for the opportunities given to me, such as being cast in the Boo To You Halloween Parade & Merry Menagerie (shown here). My time in Disney Live Entertainment has been magical. I can't wait to see what's next!
