About Arianna

Once upon a time, there was an 8-year old girl who believed in magic. Ever since she was a little girl, her father and mother had taken her to the most magical place on Earth: Walt Disney World. This particular year though, she saw a Modern Marvels episode on TV, all about Disney World. She learned then that this magic was actually “engineering,” which came from people just like her. Instantly, she fell further in love with the magic, the engineering. It amazed and astounded her that these journeys into Disney’s stories were all made through science, art and math. Suddenly, the girl realized as her parents took her to see it all again, these were the things that she wanted to create. She had a dream to become a Disney Imagineer. That girl was me.

To achieve this dream, I have been attending University of Wisconsin - Madison, where I am currently a junior on my way to earning a BS in Industrial and Systems Engineering, with pursuits in the Theatre Department for design and management. After my BS, I plan to continue pursuing my dream by earning a Master’s Degree in an Entertainment Design related major.

I am always working on something new whether it be art, engineering, design or all of those combined. I look for new opportunity at every turn and am ever eager to reach the future ahead of me.

“I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment. I am never satisfied with my work. I resent the limitations of my own imagination.” - Walt Disney
