“I decided to volunteer as a conference local arrangement chair because I wanted to give back to the art therapy community and contribute to the growth and advancement of our field. Being part of the AATA community allows me to connect with like-minded individuals, engage in meaningful discussions, and collaborate on initiatives that aim to move the art therapy field forward.”
