"No other organization has had as much impact on my personal and professional life as Physicians for Reproductive Health. Starting in medical school as a board member, I met staff and physicians who empowered me to speak out publicly to advocate for abortion care and comprehensive reproductive health care for all. During my residency and fellowships, I was able to further hone my public speaking skills through the Leadership Training Academy while also building upon professional relationships with inspiring leaders in the field. These relationships turned into close mentorships that have continued to this day. These passionate, thoughtful colleagues who fight for justice, equality, and access have proven to be important sounding boards for my professional and personal life. I would not be the proud advocate, educator, and provider of comprehensive reproductive health care for children and adolescents without the support and resources of Physicians for Reproductive Health."
