It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to PRIISE and share the important work we do.

The mission of PRIISE is to highlight the significance of sexual epidemiology, promote sexual health, and prevent disease through excellence in research, education, practice, and service.

I envision a world in which everyone can live healthy lives free from negative sexual stereotypes and have access to high-quality, affirming healthcare regardless of who they are.

Achieving this mission requires intentional, sustained collaboration. PRIISE brings together interdisciplinary partners across universities, community-based organizations, healthcare systems, and advocacy groups. Through these partnerships, we engage communities, generate innovative and meaningful solutions, and ensure that knowledge is translated into real-world impact.

This work is inherently collective. Improving sexual health (and community health more broadly) depends on working together thoughtfully, rigorously, and purposefully.

This season, I have embraced a deeper commitment to doing “more”: building shared knowledge, strengthening the science of sexual health, and expanding impact across communities. I invite you to explore the research and teachings of PRIISE and join me in The Work.

I hope that my passion for research excellence and health justice is more infectious than disease and that together we can turn the tide!

Welcome aboard,
