Hands-on therapeutic music & professional development programming for educational institutions, companies, and community organizations.
BOARD CERTIFIED MUSIC THERAPIST | EDUCATOR
Sound. Rhythm. Vibration. Healing.
For over 15 years, I have shared the uplifting powers of music with inner city youth in the South and West Side communities of Chicago, IL. Providing an introduction of ethnic musical instruments in the classroom, I witnessed transformations in concentration, behavior, and attitude among students ranging from ages 5 to 16. Amazed at the power of music to break through cultural and emotional barriers, I sought to further my understanding of music as therapy and build on my lived experiences working with youth.
I advanced my studies with a Master of Arts degree in Music Therapy and continued to explore and develop therapeutic techniques to bring healing and grounding to both students and educators. My experience working with diverse client populations, including mental health and special education, has been invaluable to my understanding of my craft. It is my privilege to now share my expertise and experience through presentations and workshops designed to foster the healing spirit of music.
