What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can drive evidence-based ABA services, mentor clinicians, expand programs, and improve client and family outcomes.

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with over 8 years of progressive experience in Applied Behavior Analysis, clinical leadership, and program development. I design and execute evidence-based interventions, conduct functional behavior assessments, and use data-driven decision-making to tailor treatment to individual needs.

As a clinical director and manager, I have mentored multidisciplinary teams, led staff training initiatives, and implemented strategic programs that improved treatment fidelity, client outcomes, and organizational effectiveness. I focus on staff development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and scaling service offerings while maintaining high standards of care.

I am passionate about professional development, elevating service quality, and partnering with families and caregivers to support generalization and long-term progress. My approach emphasizes measurable outcomes, continuous improvement, and compassionate, individualized care.
