Dr. Ava Cadell has been a phenomenal mentor, inspiration, and friend. Dr. Ava encouraged me to pursue a PhD at The Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in addition to referring me speaking engagements that allowed me to travel the world and educate women. She continues to be a positive role model to me as a woman and as a professional in sexology. Dr. Ava leads by example with her academic achievements, willingness to lift others up, and her style and grace.
