She is truly the total package

“Having had the chance to present with Emily McMason on a panel, I feel so strongly that she is truly the total package. Citing relevant scientific literature as she describes information relevant to parents, Emily effectively and meaningfully bridges the gap between science and practice. Combined with examples from her own children and thoughtful analogies that bring theories to life, Emily is able to have a tremendous impact on and for a diverse group of people.  Seeing the work she put into the panel presentation, this is a professional who will clearly work tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of her clients.”
