For other shows and commercials, she operated live teleprompter, live audio mixing, and camera operating as well as performances in front of the camera and in the sound booth. Knowing both sides of production as well as being a former talent agent gives her a thorough perspective on the industry. Steph has performed in commercials and videos across the country.

Working in the KC area for her entire career, Val has established great relationships with local crews, freelancers and resources.
