About

Working nearly 11 years at the Walt Disney World Company, I had the incredible opportunity to work in both performance and housekeeping, creating magic for guests from all around the world. My time as a performer allowed me to bring beloved characters to life, while my housekeeping role ensured that every guest experienced the highest level of Disney-quality hospitality. Now, as a Guest Experience Expert at the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, I continue my passion for delivering exceptional service, ensuring that each guest enjoys a seamless and memorable stay. With nearly a year in this role, I’ve developed a deep understanding of luxury hospitality and guest relations, always striving to make every interaction magical. Driven by a love for travel, theme parks, and creating unforgettable experiences, I’m committed to making every guest feel special whether through storytelling, attention to detail, or simply a warm smile.
