Before this career shift, Brian pursued multiple degrees in music performance, including a master’s degree from the University of Memphis. He further honed his skills in methodology and statistical analysis through UNT’s Department of Educational Psychology. These competencies were integral to his research on mental health challenges among college music students, as well as the psychosocial and institutional determinants of psychological distress in musician populations.
