I completed my undergraduate studies in 2018 at the University of Connecticut, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Individualized Studies, which I titled “Wellness Through Music.” I earned a Master of Arts from Lesley University in 2022 in clinical mental health counseling with a specialization in music therapy and became a board-certified music therapist. Most of my experience is with children and adults with mental health needs, but I also have worked with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as group work.
