In 2017, Scylla was honored by the National Association of Teachers of Singing for her performance as a part of their annual competition at the tri-state level, competing in the Independent Studio College Women category. On the IUP stage she has performed the role of Cherubino in IUP’s 2018 hybrid production “Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!” that encapsulated both Mozart’s Le Nozze de Figaro and Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia under the direction of Dr. Oliver Lo.
