At this moment in history, we face profound challenges—technological upheaval, political polarization, climate change, and a mental health crisis that touches every community. Psychology has never been more needed, but it must also evolve. I understand the growing needs of psychologists across careers and settings. I recognize the importance of maintaining high academic standards while making our field more accessible and inclusive.
I have lived psychology at every level—globally as President of The Psychology Coalition of the United Nations, nationally as President of APA’s Division 12, and locally as President of the Illinois Psychological Association.
I have seen the role psychology plays in shaping global policy, conflict resolution, and human rights. For the first time, we will be hosting a Psychologists’ Youth Mental Health Global Summit at the UN Headquarters in New York.
If nominated and then elected as President-Elect of APA/APASi, I will be a steady and calm hand, guiding our field forward with both vision and pragmatism.
My leadership will focus on four key priorities, deeply aligned with APA’s mission
We are at the pivot in our history with monumental changes happening within our society. Specifically, mental health policy, marginalized populations, AI and technology ethics, combating misinformation, and climate resilience.
keeping us competitive with psychological assessments, reimbursements, research, and academic leadership
In a world of increasing division, I believe in building bridges, not walls. I have spent my career negotiating between stakeholders with vastly differing perspectives.
We must think beyond borders. I am a global community psychologist working in several different countries. By enhancing international collaboration and growing APA’s global membership, we strengthen our profession.
This is a time for leadership that is both bold and steady, principled yet pragmatic. I bring the historical experience and perspective, and the commitment to lead APA into a future
I ask for your support and hope you consider me worthy of your nomination and endorsement as we shape this future together. We are a membership Association, and our members are critical in moving us forward.
