I have been working with individuals with a variety of disabilities for the past 12 years. My sister is autistic, and I grew up helping with her care. In college, I worked at an overnight respite camp, was a PCA for a young boy with cerebral palsy, volunteered at a therapeutic riding barn, and was part of the Council for Exceptional Children. After graduating with an undergraduate degree in psychology, I began working as an ABA technician. I graduated with my master's degree in Applied Behavioral Analysis and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in 2021. Since then, I have continued to support a variety of different autistic individuals with varying support needs.
