Short biography and a description of your interest(s) in music and health: 
I am a junior at Lick Wilmerding high school. I am also a singer, a musician and someone who is interested in how music influences our lives and our well being. I have volunteered in music, performed in theater and written an article on how music can improve our mood especially during this period of the pandemic. I hope to do more research on music and how it can help us in our lives in general and also hope to be able to volunteer in the field of music, which I was actively doing in senior care homes before the pandemic started.
