Goodman’s journey has been long and eventful, with many milestones still ahead, including a project titled Receptive with mentorship from award-winning composer Pascal Le Boeuf thanks to the Chamber Music America Performance Plus Grant. Next, she wants to create another project wherein she plans to work with more women who are prominent performers in the jazz scene, while exploring her heritage musically. Her fuel thus far has been, as she puts it, “this idea of ‘I have to do this. This is the marker of success.’ But now I’m shifting into being open to whatever comes to me. I still love to write music and to practice my instrument; I’m just trying now to do both from a place of gratitude, because my sound is an absorption of everything that I’ve listened to and learned in my life. Which is how it should be." -Bob Doershuck
