SEVIER COUNTY, UTAH RESIDENT BECOMES DRONE PILOT FREELANCER AFTER COMPLETING REMOTE WORK CERTIFICATION

Tonia Lewis

Tonia Lewis, an entrepreneur and recent graduate from the Master Remote Work Professional Certificate course, was looking to expand her professional freelancing opportunities by learning how to create drone images to market virtual tours through the use of websites and apps. After learning remote work skills in the course, she was able to apply for a Skill Scholarship (provided by the ROI) to help with the costs of a drone class at Snow College. With her new pilot certification, she is able to continue pursuing her passion in rural Utah and can now add drone videos to websites for businesses who could benefit from a 360 degree view of their trails, facilities, or services.
