1. HEY THERE! Hi THERE! HO THERE!
My name is Kristin Esteves
And this is an extension of my resume!
2. UCLA’s
I recently
graduated from
For the two years I’ve been learning about how people learn
and teaching Kinder, second, and third grades.
I am wrote my Master’s Inquiry on how to best teach English Language
Learners the craft of writing. I also took an Immersive Entertainment
Design class taught by the head of Disney Imagineering.
Graduate Education Program
GO BRUINS!
3. I’ve realized that while I enjoy
education in the classroom,
what I am really passionate about
is the role of storytelling and
design in informing, entertaining
and motivating people. And being
a part of the creative process in
that mission.
4. Before UCLA,
I lived in Shanghai, China for 15 months.
Where I fell in love with Chinese culture,
Chinese language ( 中文 ), and Chinese
food.

上海
5. And it’s where I taught these wonderful kids at Disney English.
6. And before this, I got really lucky.
I was hired as a roadie by PBS series “Roadtrip Nation”, and I started off by
traveling all over the United States. 7000 miles, 6 weeks and 3 days of promoting.
7. During this 7000 mile loop I did over 25
speaking events at college campuses,
drove a 38 foot RV, and conducted
documentary style interviews
for Roadtrip Nation.
After I came back from this trip, Roadtrip Nation hired me full time to run the
educational grant program. In short, I empowered and taught college students to film
documentary shorts to be produced as web content and short television pieces.
8. Other jobs held at Roadtrip Nation included:
I was a Casting
Coordinator for the PBS
Series.
I assisted in the creation of Roadtrip
Nation educational material. I Was
featured in
educational videos and books.
I was a part of the team
that handled the marketing
and outreach campaigns.
9. Even before all that, I got one of my dream jobs.
I was a Disneyland Guest Relations Hostess and
Tour Guide.
- Yes, that’s me.
- I was also a Disney University
Trainer.
- I also facilitated the Youth
Education Series tour on Physics at
California Adventure.

10. Cal State Monterey Bay
And even earlier
than all this, I went to
Graduating Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in
Human Communications and a minor in
Communications
Design
Like I said earlier, I’ve always been curious
about how we inform and communicate with
each other through different media.
I wrote a long thesis on Disneyland for my capstone project. I attached an
excerpt for you to browse at your leisure.
GO OTTERS!
11. IN ADDITION TO ALL THIS, I HAVE SOME
OTHER CREATIVE SKILLS, HOBBIES, and
PASSIONS.
12. PHOTOGRAPHY and TRAVEL
I am innately curious and love to see new people, places
and things. Here are some photos from my adventures.

16. Concept Development, Information, and Graphic Design
Last year at UCLA, I had the opportunity to participate in the second quarter of the “Imagineering” class. I lead my
team on concept development for a immersive design project titled “Nexus 24”. I don’t think I’ve ever worked
harder, and felt prouder. Here is a poster I designed, and some of the speaking points I wrote for this project.
On December15th, we realized what livingwithoutenergy could be like.And our
group understands the importancethatNexus plays inourdaily lives. We know what
Nexus needs is to connect it's consumers. Makethem realizehow importantenergy
is. To rebuild theirtrustinNexus, and know that afterthe events ofDecember15th,
Nexus is ready to help makea positive changeintheglobalcommunity.And thatthis
willredefine the nexus brand and image in the public's eye.
In response we present Nexus24.It is a 24 hourendurance event thatis being held in
24 cities on November24, 2012. It willbringawareness to participantsaboutenergy
poverty, and allow them to interact withenergy ina unique, positive, and
entertaining environment. The participants willstay engaged witheach other, with
Nexus and ourpartners, all while stayingawake throughthe whole event.
18. So, when it comes down to it...
I am sharing this with you because I’d
like to use my past experiences, my skills,
my interests, and hobbies to work with
The Walt Disney Company.
I think we’d work well together.
