I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Florida International University, where I was introduced to the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

To continue growing in the field, I earned my Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from Florida Institute of Technology.

My passion for helping others inspired me to pursue a degree in recreational therapy. Throughout that journey, I discovered a strong interest in designing individualized programs that support each person's unique needs. Later, while working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), I found a love for ABA therapy. The one piece I felt was missing was the opportunity to develop treatment programs. This led me to pursue my master's degree in ABA at Ball State University.

A career as a BCBA is incredibly rewarding for me. I enjoy developing creative and innovative goals that align with each individual's strengths, needs, and areas for growth. I also value building meaningful relationships with the families I serve, learning about their daily routines, and creating strategies that fit naturally into their lives.
