A distinguished researcher and author, Massie combines academics with community engagement to bring sustainable change. Her vision as executive director is to ensure DMAF continues to foster and grow an agriculture industry where mental health is supported, prioritized, and normalized.
The transition follows the successful tenure of former executive director Megz Reynolds, during which DMAF made significant progress in forging partnerships and advancing mental health awareness.
