I received a lot of support and guidance during my internship. Managers and team members were always available to help. Colleagues were incredibly helpful, enabling me to achieve my goals and succeed in my responsibilities.

The company culture and general atmosphere were very good, with a strong emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion events, especially from the BERGs (Business Employee Resource Groups).

I loved my internship; working for Disney has been a dream come true, and the memories I made throughout the year will stay with me forever. I really couldn’t have asked for a better internship experience and I am incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to intern in this team.
