Summary

With over four years as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), my direct clinical experience provides me with a deep, practical understanding of the principles of applied behavior analysis and intervention strategies. In addition to my undergraduate studies and promotion to a mentorship role for new RBTs, I have developed a strong foundation to excel in graduate-level coursework, making me uniquely prepared to contribute to and benefit from the M.A. in Applied Behavior Analysis Professional Practice at Florida Tech. With a clear professional trajectory of becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, I am eager to build upon my clinical experience, expand my expertise, and contribute meaningfully to the field of ABA through both academic growth and clinical application.
