Mia joined Thorpe Park in 2018 as part of the Rides and Attractions team. Since then, she’s developed skills in wider park operation and now works as an Operations Controller in the Security Department! 🚀 Here’s how she lives our value, ‘Go Together’, every day: “In Control, you need to be an effective communicator and collaborator and be good at multi-tasking. We go together daily with multiple departments to ensure the park runs smoothly for our guests.” “I love working closely with the First Aid and Security teams. We’re all such good friends in and outside of work.” 💙 “I’m multi-skilled in the rides department, so some days I also assist the team there. I love going back to work on rides as it’s so fun to be on the park interacting with our guests”. 🎢 Thank you for making this greatest place to work and play, Mia ✨ #GoTogether #LifeatMerlin #ThorpePark
