I grew up with two family members with special needs, one with ASD and one with Down Syndrome. This inspired me into going into ABA therapy as a career and studying it further at the University of Miami. I have volunteered with individuals with special needs in the past at sleep away camps along with through Special Olympics as a coach. I have experience babysitting infants with Down Syndrome and currently work as an RBT. I absolutely love my job and my path of work as I get to meet so many different personalities and families along the way. I'm always available for questions and am quick to answer phone calls. I'm here for you!
