Meet the Executives:

MEdUSA 2018-2019 Council

President - Nicole Pagaling

Nicole is in her fourth year of the Concurrent Music Education program. She is really looking forward to representing the music education community as this year’s MEdUSA President! As the liaison between the Schulich School of Music administration, the Faculty of Education, and other groups both inside and outside of McGill, Nicole is here to voice your concerns. If you have any questions, or even just want someone to grab coffee with, Nicole is your gal! Feel free to say hello in the halls as she runs to her closely scheduled classes, or send her a message at president.medusa.mcgill@gmail.com

VP Communications - Beatrice Hamel-Davis

Beatrice is entering her second year of the concurrent Music Education program with a minor in Management. It is her second year on MEdUSA Council! This is her first year as VP Communications, but she is very excited to begin sending monthly E-News and checking in with you guys through the Facebook page, through emails, and through the website! Beatrice sometimes has a hard time answering the question "where are you from?" as she was born in Mississauga, but grew up in South Africa, Switzerland, and graduated from high school in New Jersey. She just got a puppy named Poe and she frequently brings him up no matter the occasion. Beatrice is often intimated but never intimidating so feel free to say hello if you see her in the hallway or email her at medusa.mcgill@gmail.com

Co-VP Professional Development - Alice Néron

Alice is in her fourth (and last!) year of the Concurrent Music Education program with a concentration in violin. She is so excited to return to MEdUSA council as Co-VP Professional Development with David! As VP Professional Development, she will organize fun workshops that you MUST attend…food may be provided !! When she's not out trying cute coffee shops, you can always find her at the music library or in the practice rooms! Feel free to say hi whenever you see her! If you have any questions you can reach her at professionaldevelopment.medusa@gmail.com

Co-VP Social - Amélie Pelletier

Amelie is in her final year of the Concurrent Music Education program, with a concentration in jazz voice. As co-VP Social of MEdUSA with the fantastic Maiko Button, her job is to get music education students and alumni together! She is really looking forward to meet all the amazing music education members and putting some super magical events together. When she’s not teaching or being taught (music education, you know…), she enjoys long walks in the forest, playing video games, and coffee. LOTS of coffee. Amelie is on stage this semester so you might not see her much in the hallways, but if and when you do, come say hi! Feel free to contact her at social.medusa.mcgill@gmail.com

First Year Representative -

This could be you! If you'd like to be a part of this amazing council send in an email at medusa.mcgill@gmail.com with why you'd like to be a part of the council!

VP Academic - Troy Lebane

Troy is extremely excited to be serving as MEdUSA’s VP Academic for 2019-20! He is from Toronto, Ontario and is a U2 student in the Jazz Voice stream. Troy is your go-to person for all of program-related questions, comments, and concerns. Please feel free to introduce yourselves over the course of the year – he loves new faces! If you have any questions, you can reach him at academic.medusa.mcgill@gmail.com

VP Finance - Danielle Findlay

Danielle is in her fourth year of the concurrent double-major Music Education program with a concentration in bassoon. She can’t wait to organize lunch-time grilled cheese sales and roll coins in her first year on student council as Vice-President of Finance. When she isn’t spending her time living in the tranquility of the music library, she enjoys tossing a frisbee, attending concerts, sewing up a storm or freelancing around Montreal. Danielle loves to help, listen, and make other people’s lives easier when she can, so don’t hesitate to say ‘allô’. You can also email her with any Finance questions at danielle.findlay@mail.mcgill.ca

CO-VP Social - Maiko Button

Maiko is a U3 fourth year student in Music Ed here at McGill. She and her partner in crime Amelie are both jazz voice students who hope to swing into the groove of this new school year as your co-VP Socials! As co-VP Social, Maiko hopes to create fun, safe, and welcoming spaces for music education students to gather and connect with one another. The music ed community here at McGill is a unique and incredible group to be a part of; a mutual passion for learning and music along with the strong desire to help out their students and peers alike is what connects all McGill music ed students at their core. Maiko hopes that at the (super fun!) events she and Amelie plan this year, the music education community can get closer and stronger than ever before! If you see her at an event, or rushing around campus (it won’t take you long to be able to recognize her laugh across a room), don’t hesitate to say hi! To reach her feel free to email her at social.medusa.mcgill@gmail.com

Co-VP Professional Development - David Vézina

David is in his final year of the Concurrent Music Education program and he plays the oboe. He is very excited to be on MedUSA council for his last year at McGill as Co-VP Professional Development with his extraordinary friend Alice! I will also be acting as the Quebec Band Association Liaison this year and will keep you posted on their amazing opportunities. Alice and David are planning great workshops that you won’t want to miss! When he’s not outside running with McGill Running Club or alone running on the mountain, he’s probably humming with a Java U cup in one hand spilling everywhere because honestly he walks too fast, but please don’t hesitate to say hi and ask any questions you may have. If you have any questions you can reach him at professionaldevelopment.medusa@gmail.com
