This parade features characters from DreamWorks' Trolls and Shrek, Illumination's Minions and Secret Life of Pets, and classic Hollywood stars. Partnering with concept artist Savannah Dawson-Hamilton, this project showcases imaginative design and conceptualization, offering a vibrant showcase of floats, characters, and costume design that promise an unforgettable experience.

I conceptualized a visionary blue sky project for Universal Hollywood Resort with this deck. Leveraging Microsoft Excel, I developed a dynamic Dashboard to visualize key metrics and data related to the project's feasibility and potential impact. Using Canva, I crafted a visually stunning deck showcasing the park's rich history, resort developments, and original IP-based lands featured in the proposed theme park Expansion. This comprehensive presentation offers a compelling overview of the project's scope and potential, ready to captivate stakeholders and drive forward momentum.









Decks
and Presentations


I developed recognition initiatives for our Operation Specialists and organized an end-of-the-year awards ceremony to celebrate our business achievements. Using Microsoft Word, I compiled proposals detailing each initiative's purpose, criteria for recognition, and proposed awards. These proposals included data on employee performance metrics, testimonials, and cost estimates for awards and ceremony logistics. By presenting these proposals to senior leadership, I demonstrated our commitment to employee appreciation and provided clear plans for implementing impactful recognition programs.

This deck presentation showcased operational upgrades for the VIP Experience at Universal Orlando Resort. I conceptualized modernized tour guide wardrobe, introduced a upscale dining venue, enhanced VIP accessory branding, and refined exclusive offerings. This was presented to senior leadership, as these changes aim to elevate guest satisfaction and drive operational efficiency.

Project Documentation

This document was built in Microsoft Excel for resource tracking. This tool utilizes Excel's built-in formulas to automate processes, providing executive leadership with clear visibility into resource allocation. By tracking resources, we can efficiently close out tasks or reallocate them to different tour products as needed. This document streamlines tracking, allowing for better decision-making and optimized resource management.
