Awards
2021 Inspring Programs in STEM Award
This honor recognizes the effort that colleges, universities, and outside organizations have undertaken to empower underrepresented and women students of all levels to succeed in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines. From hands-on learning activities to mentorship and community support, each of these programs has developed visionary strategies to introduce diverse individuals to academic, extracurricular, and professional opportunities in STEM. The Guitars, Rocketry, and Robotics program, which I coordinated, received this award in 2021.
2020 Alachua County Arts Council Mini-grant Winner
I was awarded this grant for my proposal to launch a covid-cautious open-air show series that highlighted local musicians performing in various beautiful outdoor settings around Alachua County. The series, Sub Rosa Shows, was great success, selling out within 48 hours of ticket launch for all three performances. I'm very proud of this series for creating safe access to the arts during a dark time when our community deeply needed music and a sense of togetherness.
