Acceptance Speech:

Thank you, Orange Curtain Review, for the honor of being nominated this season.  I humbly accept this award alongside my co-designer Paul Hadobas for Best Makeup. 

I also want to extend my gratitude to the entire creative production team of Beauty and the Beast. It is always such a joy to work with you all and the faculty and staff at Cypress College. I truly get to collaborate with the best of the best in Orange County. Here’s a special shoutout to our students, assistants, and crew, who really keep the show running smoothly night after night.

Most importantly, I thank my family for always supporting and encouraging me. It means the world to have that strength behind me. Thank you once again to OCR for this amazing honor.
