What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in behavior analysis and education while fostering a collaborative and innovative environment.

I am Melissa Kozak, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with nearly 20 years of experience in education and behavior analysis. As the owner of Kozak Consulting LLC, I conduct comprehensive billing operations and perform utilization reviews based on evidence-based guidelines. My expertise includes conducting Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBA) and developing client-centered documentation that adheres to regulatory standards.

Throughout my career, I have managed teams of over 100 employees in various clinic settings, overseeing a caseload of more than 80 clients simultaneously. I have a proven track record of conducting internal audits, creating processes for increased productivity, and implementing new operational systems. My extensive experience in care coordination and discharge planning has equipped me with the skills necessary to evaluate the efficiency and appropriateness of client treatments, ensuring compliance with HIPAA and confidentiality regulations.
