Summary

I have been a RBT over the past 3 years and am very passionate in what I do. I look forward to building relationships with my clients and applying the principles of ABA to best help them excel in the future. Having worked across clinical, home and community settings I feel that I have gained the tools needed to teach these new skills to clients with fidelity. I look forward to continuing my journey within the feel and becoming a dedicated BCBA.
