2005 graduate Kate Williams was a
keen saxophone player at CDSHS
and followed her passion to study
a Bachelor of Music at Queensland
University of Technology (QUT). Upon

Therapy at QUT, where she learnt how
to apply music in Psychology, Special
Education and Mental & Allied Health.
Kate worked as a music therapist
before settling into a management
position in music therapy program

she was instrumental in growing the
