Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS
I am currently in the process working on my Master of Applied Science in Chemical Engineering at Dalhousie University. In 2022, I completed my Bachelor of Chemical Engineer degree at Dalhousie University. My engineering degree had a strong focus on problem solving, design work, and some entrepreneurship. I am expected to commence my Masters of Applied Science at Dalhousie University in the spring of 2022. I left Long & McQuade in 2019 and started teaching privately. This allowed me to further develop the connection of music and mindfulness in my teaching.
