Kristina Kaufman, Administration
I am a Florida native. Which if you live in Florida, you know that this is quite a rare thing. I graduated from the University of Florida with a B.S. in Journalism. After graduation, I moved to Orlando (or at the time they were calling it "Hollywood East") to begin a career in film and television. In those next 4 years, I worked as everything from Melanie Griffith's stand-in to Production Coordinator on Shaq's Pepsi commercials. On a whim, I put a resume into WDW Animation and surprisingly received a callback and spent the next 8 years in Production Management on the films, "Mulan", "Lilo and Stitch" and "Brother Bear."
But really the biggest, most definitive, life-altering moment in my life has been the birth of my little boy. I have been a stay-at-home mom during which time I have perfected the art of multi-tasking and prioritizing. I'm looking forward to venturing back into the workforce and hope to rise to the challenge of successfully balancing both my personal and professional lives.
