Emergencies don’t wait for a shift to start.

We are proud to award Allyssa and Brianna the "Performance of Excellence Award" for demonstrating courage, leadership, and calm under pressure. This is what looks like!

During their lunch break at school, Allyssa and Brianna heard screams for help at a nearby park. Without hesitation, they ran toward the emergency, finding a woman actively having a seizure. Drawing on their training from , they quickly moved her into the recovery position, supported her head, directed a bystander to call 911, and stayed with her until the seizure passed and medical services arrived.

Their actions are a powerful reminder that lifesaving skills don’t stay at the pool - they stay with you for life.

"At Aulani, I took on an Assistant Manager role and lived there for two years. That experience helped shape my leadership style and threw countless curveballs my way – each one expanding my understanding of operational needs and emergency care, ultimately bringing me to where I am today!

From there, I found myself in an incredible position to keep learning while helping others discover the same love this company and industry have given me. Now, I strive to build and support a team at Disney’s Cotino that thrives in a learning environment and continually pushes themselves (and each other) to succeed."
