Amber Reid Restores Lost Voices
Amber Reid, Ph.D., enjoys quite a diversified background in psychology, counseling, cultural studies, and human development. “I’ve worked professionally in most of these areas, along with academic work,” she says. During her time as a counselor, Reid recognized the “transformative power” of storytelling. “Sharing personal stories was therapeutic and healing for many, and on a larger scale, stories allow people to feel seen.”

Jessica McCormack
“I think the flute is the most interesting instrument,” says senior Jessica McCormack. “It’s very beautiful and can create a mysterious sound but also very sweet and soft. It allows for a lot of character in your playing.” McCormack, a musical performance major, began playing the flute in middle school. She says she chose the flute because of her mom.
