What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to lead clinical teams, drive quality outcomes, and foster a collaborative environment focused on client success.

As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over 15 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to enhancing the quality of life for individuals through Applied Behavior Analysis. My expertise spans healthcare administration, compliance, and clinical leadership, where I have successfully scaled clinical operations and maintained regulatory standards across multi-site regions. I pride myself on my ability to lead interdisciplinary teams with a client-centered and data-driven approach, ensuring that all clinical services are delivered to the highest standards.

In my current role as the Director of Assessment and Assistant Clinical Director at East Tennessee Global Behavior Education Alliance, I oversee two clinics, manage budgets, and ensure clinical compliance. I lead assessment processes and staff training while collaborating with executive leadership to optimize clinic operations. My commitment to continuous improvement in clinical practices is evident through my development of training materials and procedures, as well as my focus on measuring client outcomes to enhance service delivery models.
