Tyler VanKlompenberg

Human Resources Management graduate as of June 2022. I am looking forward to utilizing all of the arduous work I have put into my master's program at the University of Massachusetts Global. I feel well-prepared to enter the world of HR because of my dedication to my education.

Currently, at Walt Disney World, I have been fortunate enough to live out one of my childhood dreams of bringing shows and parades to life as a character performer. My ambition and drive led me to this job, and every day I am proud to hold the title of a Walt Disney World Cast Member. Beyond performing, I have been able to showcase the company's keys to success, which include safety, courtesy, inclusion, show, and efficiency. Each key is important, and I exemplify each with a focus on courtesy and inclusion as my top strengths. My drive for D&I has been empowered here, and I plan to take that drive with me anywhere I go.

Looking forward, I hope to continue with passion and ambition wherever my professional, educational, or personal endeavors take me. With a newly acquired HR degree, I hope to head in a professional direction that involves helping people and organizations realize their fullest HR potential. Please reach out to me if our goals are aligned.

• Throughout my time at Walt Disney World, I have been recognized by leaders and coworkers via Disney's recognition system many times. When a cast member exemplifies any of the Five Keys (Safety, Courtesy, Inclusion, Show, and Efficiency), we take the opportunity to formally recognize them with a "grape soda," which is shown permanently on their record card. Each time I receive a "grape soda," I feel seen by others for simply doing my job well.
• Formation of the Courtesy Committee as a founding member. This committee was formed to showcase the Courtesy Key, one of the five keys that are the company's foundation. Members were specifically chosen by leadership whom they believed exemplified this key.
