This month we are so excited to spotlight our amazing interns, Emily and Danielle!
Emily:
Where are you from?
I am from Westmoreland, NY
How did KEYS come into your life?
KEYS came into my life when I met one of our music therapists, Amanda. I completed my second practicum with Amanda, and had mentioned how I enjoyed doing music therapy with children. She connected me with Adrienne, and before I knew it, I had an interview and became an intern at KEYS! I have loved every second of it!
How long have you been with KEYS?
I have only been with KEYS since July of 2024, but I’m hoping that KEYS will continue to be a part of my life for years to come!
What is your favorite thing about working at KEYS?
My favorite thing about KEYS is the endless support that I receive everyday from all of the staff. No matter what I need, everyone is there for me. I also really appreciate the love and support from the KEYS families. It’s such an amazing opportunity getting to work with their kiddos every week, and I’m grateful for the trust they have for me. I don’t know where I would be without KEYS. Everyone has helped me grow immensely.
Do you have a favorite song/artist?
My current favorite song and artist is Wildflower by Billie Eilish.
Fun facts!
A fun fact about me is that I’ve been getting into playing golf, and I’m hoping Danielle will teach me some of her impressive skills!
