"The Music program at Douglas is demanding, but rich with experience and opportunity; one moment I’d be participating in a drum circle and the next I’d be attending a prestigious opera production downtown. 

Since graduating, I've further developed my ring of influence within the Vancouver music community and witnessed the strengthening of my artistic presence as a result."
