Serving as ASHT Times Co-Editor with Dianna Lunsford has been the opportunity of a lifetime! When I assumed the role in 2018, I intended to write more scholarly materials and use the ASHT network of brilliant minds to learn and share. The experience has been deeply gratifying. The generosity and insight of the ASHT community and support for our magazine have overwhelmed me. Highlights include asking my upper extremity therapy heroes for their opinions, exploring topics that interest me and giving voice to new therapists and students.
Does this sound like something you might enjoy, too? If you feel a call to serve as ASHT Times Contributing Editor, please apply! Take this chance to serve ASHT while learning and growing.
