“I have enjoyed every aspect of working with Dr. Ramos Duffer. She is incredibly easy to work with – she was eager to accommodate our needs, she built a plenary session to fit our goals and our audience, and she was quick to respond to every question we had during the planning process. Her presentation on self-care was engaging, insightful, and motivating. Dr. Ramos Duffer’s calm and, at the same time, energetic approach inspired the participants, many of whom stopped by on their way out of the conference to let me know how much they enjoyed Dr. Ramos Duffer’s presentation. I was especially impressed by her ability to blend cutting edge research, participant engagement, and humor to keep everyone engaged. We are looking forward to giving Dr. Ramos Duffer an even larger audience as the keynote speaker for our statewide conference to inspire to engage in the type of self-reflection and self-care work it takes to maintain themselves in this work. I have met no one more qualified to do so.”
