Mizuki Asano (she/her) is a Kansas native (yes, she is aware that she is “not in Kansas anymore!!”). She completed her coursework in Music Therapy, BMUS, and Psychology, BS at Arizona State University in May 2024. During her practicum experiences, she worked with older adults with dementia, adults with developmental/intellectual disabilities, adult and adolescent patients at a behavioral health hospital, and children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or Down syndrome. As a double major in music therapy and psychology, she spent most of her projects focusing on how music therapy could be incorporated into a topic in psychology. In her free time, you can find her doing yoga, trying to read a book, or crocheting!

As an intern at Music To Grow On, Mizuki is excited to work with various clients while gaining experience as a music therapist and getting to know the Sacramento area.
