Psychology Major with Minors in 音乐 历史, 和 Mindfulness 和 Contemplative Living

"I took my first music course at St. Joe’s my freshman year, 和 I loved it ever since. Professor Bernardyn’s music courses allowed me to have a break from more rigorous courses, while tapping into a lighter 和 fun atmosphere. My perception of music enhanced, seeing how powerfully it influences our emotions, 连接, 电影院, 和 cultures overall. That’s why I didn’t hesitate when Professor Bernardyn offered me the opportunity to take up music history as a minor. If I were to continue my psychology pursuits, I wouldn’t rule out music therapy as part of my future practice. But as of right now, I plan to continue using music as a way to connect to myself 和 others, 和 appreciate the art in itself."
