MEMORANDUM DECISION
[1] Richard Z. Bogacki (“Bogacki”) appeals his conviction for Level 6 felony theft. He argues that there is insufficient evidence to support his conviction. To convict Bogacki, the State had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Bogacki “knowingly or intentionally exert[ed] unauthorized control over property of another person, with intent to deprive the other person of any part of its value or use[.]” See IND. CODE § 35-43-4-2(a). The statute further provides that the offense is a Level 6 felony if “the value of the property is at least seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) and less than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000)[.]” I.C. § 35-43-4-2(a)(1)(A).
[2] At the August 2023 jury trial, Debra Chandler (“Debra”) testified that she and her husband, Kelly Chandler (“Kelly”) owned and operated a company called Water Boss Products Incorporated, Tri-State Basement Waterproofing (“Tri-State Basement Waterproofing”). Debra further testified that in January 2019, she and Kelly had spoken with Bogacki about working for them as an “Operations Manager” of Tri-State Basement Waterproofing because Kelly had “health issues and needed someone to assist him with daily operations.” (Tr. Vol. 2 at 131). Bogacki started working at Tri-State Basement Waterproofing in February 2019.
[3] In August 2019, Bogacki formed a company called Tri-State Foundation and Waterproofing, LLC (“Tri-State Foundation”). Bogacki also opened up a bank account for this new business. Debra testified that she was responsible for the book-keeping for Tri-State Basement Waterproofing and had found discrepancies in her records that she had investigated. Debra further testified that during her investigation, she had discovered that Bogacki had deposited a check from First Advantage Title (“the title check”) into the bank account for Tri-State Foundation.

Debra testified that the title check was for services performed exclusively by Tri-State Basement Waterproofing and not Bogackis newly formed company, Tri-State Foundation. Debra also testified that the title check was in the amount of $3,750.
[4] Bogacki argues that Debras “testimony on [the title check], without any corroborating evidence, was not sufficient.” (Bogackis Br. 11). However, we have consistently held that “[a] conviction can be sustained on only the uncorroborated testimony of a single witness, even when that witness is the victim.” See Bailey v. State, 979 N.E.2d 133, 135 (Ind. 2012). Further, Bogackis arguments discrediting Debras testimony amount to a request to reweigh the evidence, which we will not do. See Drane v. State, 867 N.E.2d 144, 146 (Ind. 2007). The jury weighed the evidence and determined beyond a reasonable doubt that Bogacki had committed Level 6 felony theft when he had taken the title check, which was given to pay for services provided by Tri-State Basement Waterproofing, and deposited it into accounts owned by his separate company, Tri-State Foundation. Accordingly, we affirm Bogackis Level 6 felony theft conviction.
[5] Affirmed.

. The record reveals that Bogacki had deposited two other checks into his accounts for services provided by Tri-State Basement Waterproofing, resulting in two other theft convictions. However, Bogacki only challenges the theft conviction related to the title check on appeal.
