Excited to have a conversation with an academic partner from South Africa tomorrow… if you could do any international work/research in South Africa what would it be? #brainstorming @nasponline @burnsmk1 @EricaLembke @cmonique1023 @TPLaSalle @jkellyphd @SchoolPsychLife @DrDVega

Thanks for perfectly summarizing my passion @nasponline Happy #NationalSchoolPsychWeek

@SchoolPsychLife So sorry I missed you in KC!! Love watching all of the amazing work you are doing! #superhero

3 days, 3 cities, speaking to hundreds of school psychologists from VA ✈️ KC ✈️ to Lafayette. What better way to spend National School Psychology Week than speaking to school psychs about the future of our field!?

Today I had my first meeting about tenure and all of the things I need to do… it was a bit overwhelming after only getting 3 hours of sleep bc of these two but I still could not get enough snuggles and kisses from my #twins when I got home! #twinmomlife #tenuretrack

Hate and fear of people who are not like you… that is the name of the game in Missouri politics. What happened to the purple state I used to live in? @MoDemParty need to do better & get rid of this supermajority. It’s not impossible but will take a change in strategy & verbiage

Being pregnant with a high-risk twin pregnancy in #Missouri has been extremely scary! Why? Bc this is the current status of women’s healthcare in MO!! (A pic from my obs exam room taken yesterday). Need I say more? #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights @ACLU @PPFA

Difficult #MorhersDay weekend! Missed my doctoral graduation #twinpregnancy and missing my mom who left us 8 months ago (just 3 months before we found out we were pregnant). #bittersweet Taking some time for myself and finding solace in my amazing family today. 💕💔

@nicschoolpsych Yassss… you are!! 🙌❤️

@KJSchoolPsych I’m in this video!! Haha

LOVE THIS!!! We need MORE of the energy, light, and transformative power that these intelligent Black men bring to the profession of #schoolpsychology Thank you for all you continue to do for the profession and for marginalized kids and families! 🙌🔥❤️🙌🔥❤️

@DrNikoleHSims Two of my favorite people! #jealous ❤️❤️🔥🔥

@AdamsJhanelle But it should be!!!!!!!!! 🙌🔥🙌🔥

Not your average conference! 🔥🔥🔥

AMAZING!!! Love seeing so many beautiful, powerful, brilliant Black women in one room! The future of #schoolpsychology is brighter because of ALL of YOU!! ❤️🙌🔥

This!!! ❤️👇🏼

In 2017 I graduated from @umsl with my EdS in #schoolpsychology! Today, I am excited to announce that I will be returning as a tenure-track professor in the School Psychology program! #2023 has been busy! Pregnant with twins, finishing my doctorate, and now a new job! 🙌

@Yotesgurl Thanks for reaching out. Please send the link! 👍☺️

@KJSchoolPsych Hi fellow school psych! I'm doing my IRB-approved dissertation research (10 min) on burnout in school psychs. Would you like to participate? I can send you a link!

Growing two humans is way different than growing one! When I was 20 weeks pregnant with my singleton I wasn’t even showing… but with two the bump is on full display! 🤣🤰 #babybumplove #twinpregnancy #20weekspregnant #boygirltwins
