Working alongside individuals and in groups to access music – I love learning about others and working collaboratively with other disciplines to create meaningful working relationships
My relationship with music has been lifelong, and I have loved dabbling as many instruments as I can. I have worked in a range of settings, both self-employed and as a waged worker. I have experience working in special education, and during my training worked with both primary and teenage clients. I have a special interest in broadening my music therapy experience in palliative and other areas of MT. I have a huge amount of satisfaction working with people, and enjoy developing solid and trusting workplace environments.
