I am currently a co-PI for a mixed methods study, currently in write up phase for submission on the Effects of Music therapy on pain, mood, patient and caregiver satisfaction in the inpatient neurological populations as well as a scoping review on music therapy and music interventions in SCI .

Participation in university strategic initiatives
Projects
Administrative medical lead for integration of music therapy services into inpatient care at 4 adult acute care hospitals (FMC, SHC, PLC, RGH) including ICU, CVICU, palliative care, acute neuro, neurorehab, mental health, adolescent mental health, and burns units with donation funded supports since 2017
I have worked with AHS IT, Virtual Health, Music therapy and Peer support groups to test the usability of telepresence robots as patient support tools during isolation. As a result of this work, I applied for the i4 AHS Innovation Conference Launchpad competition 2021 and was named a semi-finalist (top 12 proposals) in the Mental Health and Wellness category. I competed virtually in the Launchpad on November 4th, 2021 during the conference, delivering a 3 minute pitch.
