After an incredible IASR/AFSP Summit in Boston, I was honored to present a plenary on advancing equity and action at the Youth Suicide Prevention & Intervention Symposium in Denver. Eight days, three cities, two time zones—I’m exhausted but continually inspired by this work.

I'm excited to attend the International Summit on Suicide Research in Boston! If you'll be there and are interested in community- and policy-based suicide prevention, I'm presenting two posters. Check them out! Looking forward to seeing everyone!

It’s #NationalComingOutDay. I’m grateful for the family and friends who met me with love and support. It’s something I’ll never take for granted, especially now as so many LGBTQ+ people face hostility and harmful policies. To anyone still figuring it out: You’re not alone, and your truth matters. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I had an amazing week disconnecting a bit while exploring Northern Michigan, Mackinac Island, and the Upper Peninsula. It’s about time I saw more of the state I’ve called home for eight years. What a beautiful place! #PureMichigan

Last month I spoke at AFSP’s Advocacy Forum on using data and stories to drive change. Today, 988’s LGBTQ+ line was shut down. Advocacy matters, and it’s important to speak up. Join us in telling Congress to continue this important funding! afsp.quorum.us/campaign/12316…#AFSPadvocacycy

Today marks 15 years since we lost David. The grief of losing a sibling to suicide is complicated. But I'm grateful for the moments when we remember him, and for the community, the career, and the purpose I found in this loss. That’s the “why” that keeps me going.

This week I presented at the @afspnational.bsky.social Advocacy Forum and joined 250+ advocates on Capitol Hill. From impact communication to policy change to evaluation, I’m grateful for the variety in my work and the many ways we advance suicide prevention. #AFSPAdvocacy

A great morning presenting at the Society for Community Research and Action’s Biennial Conference about AFSP’s LETS Save Lives program. I was also honored to be part of the opening plenary panel discussion. I’m excited to be back at MSU for a great few days with fellow community psychologists!

🎉 My very first journal publication just reached 100 citations! I’m grateful to everyone who’s read, shared, or cited it. It means a lot to know it’s been useful to others in the field. Check it out! doi.org/10.1080/0748...

Happy #Pride! As we celebrate love, identity, and the power of community, it’s more important than ever to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. In this sociopolitical climate, Pride is not just a celebration, but an act of resistance. Happy #PrideMonth to all, and to all a good fight! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Over 8,500 miles flown on 8 flights in the last two weeks. Across these different trips and audiences, the themes of community, dedication, and hope were consistent. I’m grateful for these opportunities!

Recently, I was interviewed by Bold Journey Magazine about how I've found purpose. I appreciated the opportunity to share more about how I came to community research and suicide prevention, how I found AFSP, and the lessons I've learned along the way. Check it out!

This past week I got to show my mom around New York City. We did some shopping, went to the major sites, and saw three Broadway shows, the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular, and La Bohème at the Met Opera. It was a great week filled with fun adventures, great food, and wonderful memories!
