Meet our scholars

I am a music psychology researcher, high school music teacher, Shakespeare company music director and performer, jazz composer, university student experience ambassador, and martial arts instructor. Being an ADHDer and having experienced some bumps along my journey, I am extremely passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of others. Hence, my career focus is strongly tied to teaching and neurodiversity advocacy, with the goal of becoming a music psychology academic and founding a music-for-well-being initiative. Naturally, my primary interests are music and psychology, but I love learning about other areas, including space, geology, politics, and history. When I’m not making music or playing an instrument (guitar, piano, cello, ukulele, and many more), I spend my spare time engaging in nerdy hobbies such as gaming, playing Dungeons & Dragons, painting Warhammer 40k miniatures, or being very competitive at tabletop and card games.
