Thank you! Utah Valley “Fab 40”

Thank you Utah Valley Magazine for including me in your “Fab 40".” There are so many incredible people in Utah doing important work. What an honor to be included alongside peers such as Tia Bee Stokes who’s dancing feet inspire cancer survivors and all of us.

Also, Jojea Kwizera who has made the journey from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Major League Soccer, and Illen Dort who is the first Haitian to graduate in electronic engineering technology at Brigham Young University.

I’ve dedicated over 25 years and lots of work to this beautiful career. Still, I know there are those that work as hard or harder and still don’t see their faces on magazine covers. I’m working to see more faces on covers, and to share more stories.

If this kind of exposure helps to highlight my goal of creating theater that uplifts and strengthens individuals, communities and our society, then I’m even more grateful and humbled by this opportunity.

Thank you!
