My Work Style

I do my best to take a collaborative approach when working with others, as it is my goal to incorporate the needs and priorities of all stakeholders when making decisions. I always say to families, while I may have expertise in the field of behavior analysis, you re the expert on your child/loved one. Therefore, family input and participation is of utmost importance to me in designing ABA treatment. I feel it is my duty and obligation to teach families about the science of ABA and equip them with the tools to make the best informed decisions possible into their loved one’s care.

Verbal behavior, functional communication, behavior support planning, ABA insurance funding, Early Intervention, organizational behavior management, strategic planning.

What I Do To De-stress In My Free Time

Run, meditate, read, and spend time with my husband and two daughters.

Why I Became a BCBA

Growing up with an uncle that had Down Syndrome, I’ve always been a compassionate advocate of those with special needs. I knew from a young age that I wanted to have a career working with children & families. As a senior in college unclear about my next steps, a career counselor introduced me to behavior analysis by sharing with me the graduate programs my university had to offer. The perfect blend of my interests in science, psychology, and education, I immediately knew becoming a behavior analyst was the path for me. After earning my undergraduate degree, I stayed to complete my masters in special education with a concentration in applied behavior analysis, and the rest is history!
