Short biography and a description of your interest(s) in music and health: 
I have over 15 years of experience in leadership and 20 years of experience as a board-certified music therapist.

I have an undergraduate and master's degree in music therapy and completed my Ph.D. in Clinical Sciences at the University of Colorado Anschutz campus where I was trained in pharmaceutical research, medical device research, epidemiology and observational trials. My research interests are varied. I am also certified as a UX researcher and proficient in various types of user research, including usability.
