APA 2017

I am immensely committed to a global and international lens in all the work I do as a clinician, academic, and advocate knowing the positive impact on psychologists worldwide, and APA is essential. My dedication to international issues centers on human rights, immigration, women in developing countries, internationalizing the psychology curriculum, global trauma and disaster, and student and early career advancement. In addition, I actively outreach to engage psychologists involved internationally, promote collaboration, at all levels, among non-US and US-based psychologists.
