What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining music therapy and adult education where I can design accredited programs, deliver group and individual therapy, train staff, and contribute to community-focused services with high quality standards and professional growth.

I am a music therapist and experienced language teacher with more than two decades of practice delivering group and individual music therapy, accredited trainings and adult English instruction. I currently serve as Professional Guarantor of the educational program "Basics of Music Therapy," a course accredited by the Ministry of Education.

I provide translation and interpreting services in English and Hungarian, have managed an accredited language school, and coordinated operations and contracting for river ship services. I focus on practical, evidence-informed musical interventions that improve quality of life for older adults and on building accredited educational programs and staff training.
