About Me

Education

Educational History:

Thanks for viewing this page! I graduated high school from Haven High School, Haven, KS in 2004. From there, I started college at Friends University to get my major in Music, emphasis Vocal Performance, and wanted to minor in Psychology. However, I soon found out about a program at the University of Kansas for Music Therapy, so in 2006 I transferred here to pursue my degree in Music Education emphasis Music Therapy. I graduated from K.U. (Rock Chalk!) in 2011 after a six month-long internship at United Cerebral Palsy of Miami in Florida. I currently run a private practice – Heartland Music Therapy – and am now attending Wichita State University to get my Master of Arts in Teaching.
