Philosophy

As a student, I am guided by curiosity and my love for humanity. By seeking out and absorbing as much information and experience as I can, I can best equip myself to help others. I am specifically drawn to the unique way I can care for others through music therapy. Music therapy can offer wellness to people who couldn’t find it anywhere else and I am honored to be entering such a field.
