Current intern 2026-2027:
Aurora Schultz, MTI
WBMT is proud to introduce our next intern, Aurora Schultz, who is a senior music therapy student at Seton Hill University. Aurora is a compassionate, creative, and strong musical leader that we know will be a great fit for the programs and people we serve as she begins her work with us this September.
Music has always been an important part of Aurora’s life. Growing up involved in band and choir showed her how music can create a powerful space for expression and connection, ultimately leading her to pursue music therapy. What Aurora loves most about this field is the opportunity to support people through music—helping them communicate, connect, and experience joy in ways that words alone sometimes cannot. She is excited to begin her internship at WB Music Therapy, where she looks forward to gaining hands-on experience, learning from the team, and continuing to grow her clinical skills while helping clients find their voice through music.
