I grew up playing the piano and later developed a passion for singing, guitar, and songwriting. Music has always been my way of connecting with others and with myself, offering a powerful and meaningful form of self-expression. Over time, I became deeply aware of the connection between music and wellbeing- something that has been recognised across cultures for centuries. This understanding led me to pursue Music Therapy, exploring how music can support expression, regulation, and connection in ways that words alone often cannot.
 

During my Honours year, I facilitated a community-based project focused on songwriting and music production with vulnerable adolescents living in a children’s village. This work supported self-expression, identity exploration, and the development of confidence. In my Master’s degree, I completed a dissertation on the use of Vibroacoustic Therapy with autistic children, which highlighted its emotion-regulating benefits, among other therapeutic outcomes.
