Teaching Artist Statement
Practicing as a student intern has taught me that everyone- regardless of age and ability- has a unique sensitivity to music that can be used for growth and personal development. My love for music guides me as a music therapist, and clients’ love for music helps me match their passion and discover purpose. I am very grateful to be able to connect with the community, and I am dedicated to spreading the enjoyment and accessibility of music throughout the South Shore.
