Short biography and a description of your interest(s) in music and health: 
Passionate about teaching and breaking down the stigma that surrounds aging and dementia. As a researcher, I want to discover how to harness the power of music to improve the lives of those with dementia and those who care for them by discovering ways to improve communication and engagement through musical approaches.
