At the Walt Disney World Resort, I spent my time on Main Street U.S.A. in the Magic Kingdom. As a Main Street East cast member, we bounced back and forth between several speciality shops. These shops included the monogramed ear hat shop, The Chapeau, the jewelry shop, Uptown Jewelers, the art gallery, Main Street Cinema, the camera shop, Box Office Gifts, and general merchadise locations, including the Train Carts and Curtain Call Collectibles. Another aspect of my role on Main Street East was to be in the candy production department in the Confectionary, Main Street's very own candy and treat store. In the Confectionary, I had the privledge to make treats including cotton candy, carmel apples, candy apples, rice krispies, marshmellow wands, and more, all with specific Disney appeal. I also worked the registers and bulk line in the Confectionary.

I traveled throughout the Central Florida area to meet with the conceirge staff of resorts and hotels. I would inform these staff members of what the upcoming events were at the KSC Visitors' Complex and make sure they knew what our facilities had to offer our guests.

I worked on the west side of Main Street U.S.A. I spent most of my time working in the Emporium, the Candy Palace, and the Newstand. In these shops, I assisted guests from around the world with purchasing souvenirs to remember their time at the park. I also worked in the Mad Hatter shop on Main Street U.S.A. There, I sewed guests' names on the back of their ear hats. Parade and firework crowd control was another postion that I had to the opprutunity to experience while at the Disneyland Resort.

During the peak seasons of sports photography, including, soccer, baseball, basketball, football, cheerleading, etc. we traveled throughout the Southeast region for photo shoots of both individual players as well as teams. As a photographer's assistant with All American Imaging, it was my job to make the photographer's job as simple as possible. This included interacting with parents and players about posing, photo packages, pricing, as well as answering any questions that they might have. We also traveled throughout the Southeast for dance competitions. During this time, I would work the merchandise table, showing both dancers and parents the pictures taken throughout the competition. Also, giving them clarificiation about packages and pricing. During my time with the company, I would spend summers in both Myrtle Beach, SC at The Ripken Experience, Cal Ripken's baseball camp for players from around the country and Cooperstown, NY at the Cooperstown All Star Village, another baseball camp for players from around the country. While working in these locations, I would be showing players and parents pictures taken throughout with week and helping with the purchase of packages and products.
