Malia has been a dedicated intern at The Dance Foundation through her time as a Samford University Micah Fellow, and this semester she’s made an impact by creating an instruction guide to our theatre for the artists who use this space.

Graduating with a degree in commercial music and a minor in worship leadership, she’s now headed to Maui, Hawaii to serve as a worship intern.

We’re sad to see her go, but so excited for what’s ahead. Join us in celebrating Malia and wishing her all the best on this next adventure 💜
