Profile

    Born in Taunton, MA, Jessica Gove was always determined to adventure out and live in a better place. A happier place. Eventually this happened and now she lives in the happiest place on Earth, Disney World. Her determination and drive are the best things about her.
    After her four years at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth she heard about the Disney College Program and quickly looked up as much information on it as possible. The Disney College Program is for students to have an internship at Disney for six months. “As soon as I had heard about it I knew it was something I needed to do. It would be a dream come true to work there.” Jessica told me. She immediately went to their website to fill out her application and to do the web based interview.
    Jessica aced the interview and was given a phone number to call for an over the phone interview. Anxiously she waited for the interview, practicing possible answers for any possible question she could be asked. When the day came she was shaking like a leaf, barely able to sit still. Her blonde hair was thrown in a messy bun and she wore her comfiest clothes. She didn’t want anything to be a distraction to her. Tapping her feet and twirling her hair as she stared at the phone, she had never been so nervous. The phone rings and she jumps up to answer it, suddenly the nervousness is gone and replaced with complete confidence. “That’s what’s so amazing about her” says her mother. “She doesn’t let her nerves get in her way. Jess is a very determined girl. She doesn’t stop till she gets what she wants.”
    No one was surprised when she passed the interview and was called a few days later and told she got in. “Of course she got it. She’s very intelligent, articulate and creative, which is exactly what Disney would be looking for” said her father. Jessica quickly began to pack her things and plan her trip. She was completely ready to start her life in Disney. Getting there was easy enough, but staying there was more of challenge. Her internship was only going to be six 

short months and when they were over she immediately made plans to get a permanent job. It took her a few years but eventually Jessica got a permanent job and was able to move out to Florida and get out of Massachusetts like she always wanted.
