In Their Own Words

"My students are completing their clinical internships in music therapy. I would like them to come away with a sense of the power of music and a hunger to continue to hone both their musical and clinical skills. I want students to be able to say, 'It's not a matter of can't, but a matter of how.'"

"My professional career in not-for-profits, building programs, and working collaboratively with a wide group of people informs my teaching with creativity, flexibility, problem solving, team work, and professionalism."
