I am excited to share that I was the recipient of the Newbury Comic Faculty Fellowship Grant from the Berklee College of Music. It is a $30,000 grant that will be used to do research how hand function relates to musician's pain and injuries. I am working with Dustin Hardwick, Physical Therapy Professor at the University of South Florida. The research is taking place at USF. We will present our findings at the Performing Arts Medicine (PAMA) National Conference this summer in NYC.
