Our New Music Therapy Intern!

Mara completed her Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy with a Minor in Psychology from University of the Pacific. She is originally from the San Francisco area and is so excited to be back in SF and working with so many incredible patients and families! Mara’s primary instrument is voice and she loves singing all kinds of music including musical theater, pop, jazz and choral music. Mara has worked as a private music teacher, church music director and a preschool teacher. She is passionate about making music with people and is always excited to have a jam session! She is also thrilled to be in a city with so much musical culture and can’t wait to see more live music. Outside of the hospital, Mara loves going for walks to find the best views, hanging out with her younger brothers and sister, catching up with friends and finding the best ice cream spots. She is looking forward to building relationships with the patients and families here and connecting through music in meaningful ways!
