Won 3rd place from performance at South Bay's Got Talent

I was a contestant in this competition in 2024, where I performed Don't Rain On My Parade from Funny Girl. I had a full costume and fully used the stage, resulting in my winning 3rd place. The judges commented that I had a "perfect vocal performance" and that they were "nominating you for a Tony".
