Her path takes an unexpected turn through the Disney College Program, from lifeguarding at Blizzard Beach to working at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street USA, where unforgettable memories were made - She reflects on the life changing decision to leave Baltimore, trust her instincts, and rebuild in Orlando during a time when the world felt uncertain - This conversation is a reminder that growth often begins with a leap, and that the most meaningful paths are rarely the easiest ones -
