During Summer of 2022 I had the amazing opportunity to work for Walt Disney World in Florida where I was a part of the merchandise team in EPCOT in between my studies at university. The entire experience was valuable on both a personal and professional level. It provided me with so many transferable practical skills, including communication and situational awareness skills which I was able to apply to my degree, whilst also allowing me to build life-long friendships with people from all around the world.
