I appreciate your commitment to educating the public about the complexities and potential risks associated with vape pens. - Germany

Thank you for all you do and the education you provide. I've had the opportunity to listen to your podcast and it is SO helpful in the work that I do. I've also been sharing this resource with our community partners as I feel it is so relevant in our area--- especially vaping! - Oregon

I heard you speak at the TJC center this summer in Tyler, Texas. I learned so much and shared with my mother about how well you spoke and how informed and shocked of all the information you shared with us on the side effects of vapes! - Texas

I attended your training today and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I was particularly struck by the eye-opening insights into the prevalence of drugs in our schools and society — I had no idea it was such a widespread issue. Your presentation was truly enlightening.
