Meet Shannon O’Hara ’20<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“The Music Therapy program at Queens set me up for success! Having 8 semesters of hands-on practicum experience allowed me to apply the theories I was learning in class with a wide variety of clients in different settings. I developed important clinical skills, and those skills helped me land both my top-choice internship and my dream job in a pediatric hospital after graduation. Queens\u2019 focus on critical thinking, research, and ethics also built a strong foundation for pursuing a master\u2019s degree in music therapy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
