Get To Know Me
My love of storytelling started in high school when I took a journalism class as an elective. By the time of graduation, I knew I wanted to enter the communication field. When I arrived at Pitt-Johnstown, I quickly joined the student newspaper, The Advocate, where I learned the basics of journalism. Through the years, I climbed the latter eventually becoming the paper’s editor-in-chief.
After 2.5 years at The Advocate, I packed up my things for an internship with Walt Disney World's communications department as the editorial communications intern for "Eyes & Ears” – the resort’s internal magazine.
Once my internship ended, I returned to Pitt-Johnstown to finish my degree with the goal of returning to Disney after graduating in spring 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic had other plans. Instead of returning for a second internship, I spent the summer at home sharpening my skills by obtaining content marketing, media relations and Google analytics certificates. With these additional skills, I found a role at Market My Market as a content writer.
In this role, I strengthened my skills in the social media realm, while also learning new ones, particularly in search engine optimization (SEO) and ensuring content was SEO-friendly. While that role was a perfect way to gain experience, I was fortunate to rejoin The Walt Disney Company in Aug. 2022.
As a communications specialist at Walt Disney World Resort, I’m able to share the stories of more than 75,000 cast members through the Disney Parks Blog and engaging local and national media outlets, fan sites and influencers.
The way to get started is to quit talking and start doing.
