My time at Imagineering was full of learning, connections, and problem solving. The mentors, bosses, and leaders that I was fortunate to work with all taught me a great amount about Imagineering and the processes in place there. On top of that, I learned how managing a team works, how budgets are formed and kept on track, and how preconstruction takes place. My personal goals were to do good work, treat people well, and spread positivity where able within the team. I believe that I was able to do that before leaving, and now am fortunate to call many people at Imagineering good friends!
