I became a Animated Trainer in 2017' . In that role I was fortunate enough to be asked to head the first implementation of the highly restrictive and specific physical characteristics ,on stage and backstage, of the IP of Sanrio's Hello Kitty. In that role, I made sure my performers were prepared to take on a character that they as a team would create together and make one Kitty that they all share the same characteristics as their fellow performers. This was not a time to shine as an individual but as a group of talented people that would give Kitty a life and vibarance that the guest would see a consistency of physical vocabulary they would always recognize and imitate when the see her. A familiarity they could always count on like and old friend. Their hard work to work together and not apart but to shine together as one team was my idea that would be their

strength for the character Hello Kitty. I let my people know that later in other characters they would shine individually but right now I needed them to be a team and make this character one so that I could never see who specifically was in the costume. All I see is Kitty. That's all I wanted to see. Her movements are so specific and precise that I got to use my Dance Captain background to this task. It was a perfect fit. When the Sanrio representatives came to see her they asked if the trainer was from Japan. I felt my mission was accomplished. High praise indeed.

JPP Coordinator 19' June 2019' to current

Universal Studios Hollywood

I was fortunate enough to be apart of the Entertainment Production Coordinator pool for the 2019' season. I really felt so much growth from this amazing experience. I got to work with so many different people from different departments that I would not have probably ever even met otherwise. Getting to see how other workers from all over the part work together to make something wonderful happen for our guests was really a huge help towards my growth experience. My coordinator assignments were varied and fantastic. I got to work with auditions, help coordinate performers for appearances on and off property. Help with our Eve event for the new year, I got to help with the show vehicles on our lot to learn how to place them for events. The one huge assignment I really felt very grateful and fortunate to get was P-477wd. I got a very rare experience to work with our Prop Team and the installation of many props into the exterior façade of one of our new upcoming attractions. This took about almost 7 weeks and also gave me experience working with our 5192 drivers and labors for the receiving and removing of crates from the EPC. I got to help with the taking of Photos for documentation purposes on scaffolding and be in a Construction environment which involved safety training. The opportunities I received from this program were tremendous.

I was a Dance Captain for Universal Studios Hollywood for almost 15 years. As a Dance Captain, I had the ability to lead and motivate employees to work as part of a team or independently. I also had the ability to effectively communicate, present company information and answer questions in one on one and group situations. I had the ability to make last minute changes to the choreography or show elements if there was inclement weather or someone called out sick that day or there were obstacles that particular day I would change blocking to make the show go on because the show must always go on. As Dance Captain, I completely support overall philosophy of the Entertainment department and assist in enforcing policy and procedure with my team. I had the ability to write reports , made business correspondence with my management and worked with procedure manuals with my team.
