Aboutme
Who am I, my goals, and plans!
Hi! My name is Grace Troesser and I am currently a music therapy intern at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, MO. My passion for music therapy started when I found out I could combine my passion for music with my love for helping others. Once I complete my internship program I plan to sit for the board certification exam and hope to eventually open my own private practice where I will employ multiple creative arts therapists.
