I kicked off my Disney career as an intern, fell in love with the culture, and then joined a rotational program offered by The Walt Disney Company. Rotating through different divisions was an amazing experience that gave me a great bird’s-eye view of how Disney operates at large. When the opportunity opened up to apply to Disney Animation, I took it!

I love the collective passion of the studio! Whether someone is writing software, animating a key shot, or physically transforming the building to theme it to our next film, everyone absolutely loves what they do and gives it their all. It’s incredibly motivating to be surrounded by people who are so deeply invested in their craft!

Never stop learning! Every single day is a chance to pick up a new skill or find a better way to get things done. Keep an open mind, lean into diverse viewpoints, and just keep growing.

The Emperor's New Groove! The pure, chaotic comedy is chef's kiss perfection. But honestly, the absolute best part of the movie is Yzma. Eartha Kitt’s voice performance brought this perfect mix of menace and absolute absurdity. To this day, anytime someone says "Pull the lever!" I automatically have to reply, "Wrong lever!"
