Professional Summary

Aspiring Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with a strong passion for helping others and an unwavering commitment to learning. With a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and hands-on experience as a Registered Behavior Technician, I am dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities. I believe in giving everyone an equal voice and do not believe in the concept of 'normal.' My purpose in ABA is to help all individuals feel a sense of safety, community, and support. I am especially passionate about verbal behavior and functional communication techniques. I am also deeply interested in the work of Dr. Greg Hanley, including the My Way approach, practical functional assessments (PFA), and the application of Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) within ABA practices. I value the importance of family and strive to create positive, lasting impacts on the clients and families I serve.
