I am the director of an undergraduate music therapy program and a researcher. In my work, I use integrated neuroscience research methods with a trauma-responsive and social justice framework to support state-of-the-art training and development of music therapists and to develop accessible, relevant, music-based supports for chronic pain. In tandem, I support and mentor music therapy students through the development of teaching materials and a knowledge base for using physiological measures (EEG, GSR) in research methods.
