ELK GROVE, CA, March 4, 2019 — Marquis Who’s Who, the world’s premier publisher of biographical profiles, is proud to present Marilyn Sue Immoos, PhD, with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award. An accomplished listee, Dr. Immoos celebrates many years’ experience in her professional network, and has been noted for achievements, leadership qualities, and the credentials and successes she has accrued in her field. As in all Marquis Who’s Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

With over 40 years of professional experience to her credit, Dr. Immoos has been active as a freelance vocal coach for the Zurich Opera since 1996 and a freelance composer, choral conductor and concert singer since 1993 and 1990, respectively. Involved with the Zurich Children’s Choir from 1994 to 1996, she also worked as a teacher for the Peoples Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland in 1993.
