Had yet another wonderful #APA2025. Got to co-create some beautiful spaces with dear friends and colleagues. And I also was honored to receive the Janet Hyde Graduate Research Award from APA Division 35 (Society for the Psychology of Women)

Super excited to be presenting twice at #APA2025 this year! And even more excited to be facilitating these important spaces and conversations with wonderful colleagues turned friends.

I hope to see and connect with many of you at APA :)

Potentially dumb question, but since I'm on internship year for conference badges do I put my affiliation as my phd program or as my current internship site?

Reflecting on my growth and journey as I prepare for this next transition

And once again generally apologizing to anyone who met me or had to regularly interact with me when I lived in MN. That was the absolutely worst/most depressed/ not put together version of myself πŸ˜‚

Education is a right, not a privilege. Those weirdos in office are incorrect and lying to the public about the basics of government.

My doctor suggested that I started taking iron supplements and…your girl has not taken a nap in over a week
