On this episode of the Empower LEP podcast I am sitting down with Christopher Ponce. Wow, What an energizing and insightful conversation! As a fellow school psychologist, I loved hearing his take on NASP 2025—the sessions and the meaningful connections he made along the way.

We dive into the power of networking and why reaching out to big names and behind-the-scenes practitioners can open unexpected doors. Chris’ advice? Don’t be afraid to reach out—most experts are happy to chat!

Chris shares his experiences as co-chair of the AAPI subcommittee, the challenges and rewards of leadership, and how mentorship plays a critical role in shaping early-career school psychologists. Chris took on extra responsibilities, but in return, he had the opportunity to shape key DEI initiatives within NASP.

We also explore the evolving role of social media and podcasts in our field and how his podcast The School Collective is helping to highlight innovators across the country, proving that online platforms can be powerful tools for knowledge-sharing and community-building

💡 Advocacy starts with us. This conversation reinforced how much potential we have as school psychologists—not just to learn from each other but to drive real change in our field. I’m excited to stay connected with Christopher and see what’s next for him!

If you're passionate about growing as a school psychologist, making meaningful connections, and advocating for change, this episode is for you! Tune in now and get inspired by Christopher’s journey.
