About Me

I’m a city girl and have called Philly, Boston, Chicago, New York and LA my home, but my heart lives at the Disney Parks. You can always find me with my signature Tinker Bell topknot, a puff sleeve and a polka dot or two in ode to one of my favorites - Minnie Mouse! I am a Mom, Wife, Aunt, sparkly disco ball lover, vintage seeker and Disney parks news and history enthusiast. After working in International Publicity in the film industry for a decade, I decided to throw some life confetti up in the air and change careers … and it turns out it’s fun to keep tossing that confetti! I love new experiences and being a part of small teams wearing many hats. My confetti has landed me in many different roles and fields, including Marketing, Creative Content Production, E-Commerce, Customer Experience and Product Development - it’s been the wildest ride in the west (and east)! On the home front, one of my favorite things to do is bring a little magic to our celebrations. Whether it’s birthdays or holidays, they are over the top in this house! I’m an early riser who loves my 5 a.m. coffee before the hustle and bustle gets going, I pride my expert gift wrapping skills, I love my friends like family and my true dream has always been to work for Disney (pinch me!).

About My Family

My husband and I met and married in sunny LA and my two kids have been Mouseketeers and regulars on Main Street, U.S.A. since before they could walk. My husband has a heart of gold and is an incredibly supportive partner, especially when it comes to my love of Disney which only rivals his love of golf. When my daughter was born, my heart nearly exploded when I realized I could share the Disney magic with my own kids. Seeing their eyes light up at things that have meant so much to me throughout my life is something I’ll never forget (and something that still happens!). My daughter loves all things Broadway and is a performer at heart. She is my thrill seeker, and we bounce from Space Mountain to Slinky Dog Dash to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, sometimes all in one day. My son is the sweetest kid you will ever meet who loves baseball and finding hilarious ways to make us laugh. He was born a Jedi but has a soft spot for classic attractions like Peter Pan’s Flight, just like his Mama! You can find us walking to school dreaming up our next Disney vacation or debating our next Lightning Lane strategy. Since we moved back to the east coast a few years ago, I like to say we are a bicoastal Disney family and have a deep love for both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort!

About My Disney Experience

My mom says I still get the same wanderlust sparkle eyes I had during my very first trip at age 3 every time I walk down Main Street, U.S.A. … and here I am a few decades later still just as enamored with that Disney magic! I grew up going to the Walt Disney World Resort and as soon as I could read, I was pouring over guide books from cover to cover, submitting itineraries to my Dad complete with recommended dining reservations. When life brought me to LA, I fell in love with the Disneyland Resort. I absolutely love exploring and discovering this park, learning the history, riding original attractions, getting to know the Imagineers and looking for their windows on Main Street, U.S.A. - all of the wonders that Walt’s park holds. It was also never lost on me that I could drive to the Happiest Place on Earth after work any day I wanted - and often did! While life takes a lot of twists and turns, no matter where I am, my Disney memories and experiences have carried me through like a magical buoy. I will talk Disney to anyone, anytime - the pixie-dusted joy bubbles out of me and I have been known to convince friends to book trips in a single conversation! There is nothing better than sharing the magic!
