Though Stephenae’ plays piano and saxophone, the music therapy portion is all about singing. When asked what she loves the most about her job, she answers, “My favorite part is interacting with the clients. Honestly, it makes my day. We have a good time with art therapy and music therapy. They respond well and enjoy themselves. Our art and music therapy makes a difference, calms them, soothes them, gets their mind off things, and distracts them from stress.” And she notices the progress of the participants. “I see a big difference; they start to open up more when they start therapy and begin to express how they are feeling—they interact more.” On top of her busy schedule with school and internship work, Stephenae is CEO of her own clothing brand—TrendSetters, a fashion web store that sells graphic tees, stacked pants (her favorite!), jewelry, sports clothes, and more! Stephenae’ is a very busy young woman with big dreams and an even bigger heart.
