ABOUT THE GUESTS:
From a young age, Mei has always been passionate about serving others, which led her to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Ana G. Méndez University, Carolina Campus. She was born in Carolina, Puerto Rico, with Puerto Rican-Dominican roots, and grew up enjoying Disney movies. However, it was during her first visit to the parks in 2019 that she knew she wanted to be part of that magic.
