What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to further develop my skills in behavior analysis while collaborating with a supportive team dedicated to improving client outcomes.

I am a highly skilled and detail-oriented Qualified Behavior Analyst (QBA) with over 8 years of experience in providing evidence-based interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. My passion lies in improving the quality of life for individuals facing behavioral challenges through the design and implementation of effective behavior intervention plans (BIPs).

Throughout my career, I have successfully conducted functional behavior assessments (FBAs) and collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to ensure the consistency and effectiveness of interventions. I take pride in training and supervising behavior technicians and paraprofessionals, empowering families with the tools they need to support their loved ones. My commitment to promoting social and behavioral development drives my work, and I am dedicated to achieving positive outcomes for my clients.
