Awards

Spot Award

Utah Valley University - November 15, 2023

In order to support the productions here at UVU, outside of my load I offered my time and services to vocal coach, help stage, and provide intimacy coaching for the two productions in the Fall of 2023. Collectively, this was roughly 40 hours of coaching over two months. The award was for $1000.
