Faculty Receives 2025 Society of Family Planning Mentor Award

I am incredibly honored to have received the @societyfp.bsky.social Mentorship Award. Folks from more than 20+ institutions nominated me for the award. Supporting the next generation and building community have been the most rewarding parts of my career. ♥️ sph.rutgers.edu/news/faculty...
