鈥淒r. Marsden not only brings to the fold a thoughtful, bold and passionate voice steeped in the psychological trade, but also seasons our intellectual stew with a Lake County regional flavor,鈥� says Michael Joe Murphy,聽 digital conversation starter and Central Florida 100 Editor for the Orlando Sentinel Media Group.

鈥淚鈥檓 honored and excited to be able to contribute to my community in this way,鈥� Marsden said. 鈥淚鈥檓 happy that the Sentinel has a method for people to talk about important issues that are affecting all of us.聽 This type of format brings together a variety of ideas that will increase awareness and open-mindedness.鈥�
