Temporarily ending my Twitter hiatus to express my heartfelt gratitude for this honor. To be recognized by @drthema among my wonderful @apagradstudents and @APA colleagues in my favorite setting (#APAAdvocacySummit) is so meaningful.

I feel so validated in my mission to advocate for equitable access to high quality health care, and especially to advocate for those who are underrepresented and marginalized. And I am so grateful for my community of friends and colleagues who share this mission. My heart is full
