Congratulations to GSEP’s very own Dr. Tonya Wood on her recent APA presidential citation. Dr. Wood is a clinical psychologist, having worked with children and families for nearly twenty years. She has worked in a variety of public sector settings and has always emphasized providing care to marginalized communities. 

Dr. Wood is an expert in her field and she was recently awarded an APA Presidential citation award which is an honor that recognizes scholars who have made significant contributions to their field. She was awarded for her advocacy work on behalf of infertility, reproductive health, trauma, and underserved communities. 

“Thank you all!  In the words of one of my favorite poets, Rumi: ‘Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.’ My work has always been a privilege and a blessing,  so to have it recognized and acknowledged is truly an honor, says Dr. Woods.

Congratulations again to Dr. Wood for this incredible accomplishment!
