ABOUT ME
Hey there!
​
I'm Kylie. I graduated from Grand Valley State University the spring of 2020. I changed my major a few times, but I graduated with a BA in business marketing and mathematics, along with a whole lot of communications experience.
I had an amazing experience at GVSU - studying abroad, interning at Disney World, volunteering as a Young Life leader, and so much more. These experiences made me who I am today - a person passionate about people and making the world a better place. I believe I can use my skills in social media, videography, and content creation to promote connection and community. Let me tell you WHY.

THE "WHY"
Later in my college career, I did something a little unconventional for a mathematics student. I participated in the Disney College Program the spring of 2019, moving to Disney World and living in Disney housing with five other girls from all over the world.
While I don't think I've ever worked as much as I did when I was there, it was the best time of my life (not just because of the free park admission)! I learned a lot about myself and who I want to be in my career - I recognized the influence my work had on other people, as my personal interactions with guests could make or break their entire trip.
I acknowledged the value of having a love for my job, because it made long hours exciting instead of dreadful. Lastly, as any guest of Disney World would, I learned that no dream is too small. It was there I decided to focus my career efforts on communications, hospitality, and social media marketing.
