I am a musician and educator, born in Oklahoma and currently living in Wellfleet. In school I studied classical piano and later completed a master's degree in music therapy from Colorado State. My work as a music therapist has brought me to autism clinics, mental health hospitals, and everything in between.
​
I connect with communities through music whether it be leading songwriting workshops, teaching lessons, or playing with friends and neighbors. I started Music for the Masses with a mission to provide musical tools for people of all ages and abilities. I believe in access to the arts for every person regardless of socioeconomic status or disability level. I am happy to be a student of the communities I serve and excited to continue learning every step of the way.
my thoughts on ability:
We all have the capacity to create and the right to explore our unique voice. Someone's ability to speak, play an instrument, or think critically should have no limit on the access they have to creativity. If you have ever felt limited by your abilities, check the process not the product. Whether you're speaking or nonspeaking, linear or nonlinear, open or closed, you have the right and the capacity to create.
