What do you like most about your job/career? I
love recruiting interns for Disney because that's where I
started my career, as an intern with Disney. It's a wonderful
company to work for because their values and commitment are

love the continuous opportunities for learning! Also, the
feeling I get when I am assisting students and “the

career action plan for their future. Also, I take pleasure
in having the opportunity to empower individuals to make more
informed decisions about their future.
How have you been actively involved in SACE? Since

am fortunate to be married to my best friend, Fred Ervin.
He has been and is very supportive of all my endeavors.
