Co-President - Erin LaMay
Grade: Sophomore
Major: Business Administration
Hometown: La Mesa, CA
Favorite Disney Characters: Rapunzel, Giselle, Ariel, Merida, Lady, Max Goof
Favorite Disney Movies: Enchanted, Lady and the Tramp, Ratatouille, A Goofy Movie, Treasure Planet, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tangled
Favorite Disney Attractions: Space Mountain, Incredicoaster
Greek Affiliation: Independent
Bio: Erin has been obsessed with Disney films for as long as she can remember, and she has always dreamed of becoming a Disney Princess™. She has a passion for Disney music in particular and prides herself on her knowledge of it, though she also loves learning about the history and behind-the-scenes of the parks and films. As a Disneyland Passholder, her favorite part about going to the parks is the entertainment, because she feels that the characters and shows are a different experience every time. One day, she hopes to travel to each of the Disney Parks around the world and explore how the classic Disney brand and values are incorporated into different cultures (she has yet to visit Tokyo, Shanghai, and Hong Kong). Her ultimate dream is to work for Disney, both in the parks and on a corporate level, and when she’s not attending auditions, you can catch her obsessively checking the Disney Jobs and Disney Auditions webpages.
