Emily Chambers

Meet an Alumna Emily Chambers, BCom’09, MMA’14 During her time in Queen’s Commerce, Emily Chambers loved learning about statistics and operations research. That led her to return for her Master of Management Analytics degree. Upon graduation, she moved to Florida to work for The Walt Disney Company, where she’s now an integration consultant. My team members are internal consultants for business lines throughout Disney, providing analytic solutions that enable them to make more informed business decisions. This could be as simple as creating reporting dashboards to provide valuable business insight, or it could mean building complex decision models that are fully integrated into the business processes. My role is to bridge the gap between our business clients and the technical experts on our team, such as computer scientists, statisticians and data scientists. What I enjoy most about working at Disney is the endless opportunities available. In the four years I’ve been with the company, I’ve been able to work with ABC Digital, A&E Networks, Disney Theatrical Group, and now Disneyland Resort in California. There are always new challenges, so I can’t imagine ever getting bored here. One of my latest projects was developing the revenue-management system for Frozen the Musical, which recently joined The Lion King and Aladdin on Broadway. A career highlight for me was attending the opening night of Frozen. It was surreal to finally see the show come to life and made me so proud to be part of an organization that is unrivaled when it comes to creating magic.  I’ve always been involved in music and played in a samba band at Queen’s. More recently I sang in the Candlelight Choir at Epcot, where I performed on stage with celebrities such as Whoopi Goldberg and Neil Patrick Harris. That’s just one of the perks of working for Disney!
