My dream began in the spring of 1988 when I completed the Disney College Program. I worked in Adventureland at the Magic Kingdom and learned from the industry's best leaders during one of the most influential years of my life. To say that Mickey Mouse changed everything for me, well...just see for yourself! Immediately after the program, I went back to my college campus in Indiana, changed my major from education to corporate communication, all the while feeling that “calling” to go back to Disney after graduation. As you might imagine - life happened. I married my college sweetheart and we followed his career path as the primary breadwinner. We started out in a metropolitan area and I began a wonderful four-year career with Marriott. Hospitality became my industry of choice and I excitedly brought my Disney knowledge and experience with me, growing every step of the way.The years that followed brought us three amazing kids, the last of whom just graduated from college – hooray! I devoted myself to full-time parenthood, eventually pursuing opportunities that had opened up to me in higher education. Even though it's been a full, meaningful life and career, I put my ultimate dream on the backburner. It’s been more than 30 years.Fast forward to today. I've spent the last 20 years in higher ed, dedicated to bringing Disney leadership and customer experience principles to an industry not known for its service mentality! I count it a privilege to serve students, donors and families every day in the same warm, inspirational Disney way I was taught. What does the future hold for me? Only God (and maybe Mickey Mouse) knows, but I can honestly say that even after 30 years, my dream is as alive in my heart as ever. I believe that one day, I'll come back home to the company I love and create magic for a whole new generation.
