What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Clinical Director with a strong background in Applied Behavior Analysis and Child Psychology. With a Master’s degree from the University of South Florida and a Bachelor’s degree from Eastern Connecticut State University, I have honed my skills in providing clinical oversight and mentorship to BCBAs and staff. My experience spans various organizations where I have successfully created and maintained positive company cultures focused on collaboration and trust.
Throughout my career, I have been instrumental in the growth and development of evidence-based ABA programs. I have a proven track record of conducting assessments, creating Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs), and training staff to implement effective behavioral strategies. My commitment to fostering a supportive environment has led to improved outcomes for clients, particularly children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
