RE Log - Spring 2024

SPRING 2024 Ransom Everglades LOG 61 Luz Stella Perez de Corcho writes, “Ahoy Sailors! Plot twist, I am STOKED to share that I have accepted a new position with Virgin Voyages as the Manager - Entertainment Facility & Rehearsal Operations! “Back in March, I sailed aboard Virgin’s Scarlet Lady and I absolutely fell in love. If you spoke to me at all after I got off that ship you KNOW how much I adored it. I am honored to be joining their crew and to be part of such a transformational entertainment and hospitality company. “For those wondering about my role at Disney, don’t worry, I’m not jumping ship quite yet. I am pleased to say that I will remain with Magic Kingdom, on a seasonal status, as an Entertainment Manager. I will always love Disney, and my time here has been nothing short of magical. Disney took a little girl’s dreams and made them a reality, and for that, I am eternally grateful. The most important part of my journey at Disney has hands down been the opportunity to help amplify the voices of others. I can now see the dreams of thousands of other kids coming true every day, and THAT is magic. I have the best memories and coolest learning moments that I will take with me wherever I go. See ya real soon!” William Hector’s new immersive play, G7: 2070 , premiered in October at The Kampong.

He shares, “My passion for theater can be traced directly back to my time at Ransom Everglades, as can the wide- ranging current events and history focus of this show, given all the excellent social studies, English and cross-curricular opportunities RE offered.” 2012 Class Ambassadors: Manuel Al Abdallah ( manuel.abdallah@gmail.com) , Maria Mesa (mcmesai@gmail.com ), Marli Scharlin (mscharlin@gmail.com ), Max Weiss (mweiss@eirpartners.com ) Ashleigh Johnson ’12 , see page 40 Max Weiss and his wife, Kara, have moved back to Miami from New York.
