For the past 7 years I have worked with children and adults with special needs.  Over this time, I have worked for a private residential school for students with special needs, adult day and residential program, home service programs, and public schools. Over my time in the field I have developed a passion for parent/caregiver training and teaching functional living skills. Seeing a child or adult do something for the first time under a variety of conditions is the most rewarding thing to me.  I enjoy building relationships and improving the lives of the children and families I work with.

I have been working with those who have ASD since 2014 and knew that I wanted to make a difference in children’s lives.  After receiving my bachelor’s degree from Salem State In 2018, I began my career at the May Institute and went on to receive a Master’s in Behavior Analysis and became a BCBA.  I have experience with individuals ages 5-22 teaching social, academic, daily living, communication, and vocational skills. Functional communication is my favorite domain to teach! I currently work full-time at a public school and I am further my experience within the home setting at B.E.S.T.  Outside of ABA, I enjoy reading, watching Netflix, puzzles and biking and hiking during the warmer months with my husband.

I received my Bachelor’s in Developmental Psychology from Plymouth State University and my Master’s in Education from Southern New Hampshire University. I have been in the field of ABA for 8 years now, and have a wide range of experience. I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and try to bring ACT not only into my life, but everyone around me as well! Outside of ABA, I have a lot of passions-from yoga to board gaming. I especially enjoy being outside with a good book after hiking or out on a boat on Winnipesaukee.

After receiving my bachelor’s degree from Worcester State in Communication Sciences and Disorders, I went to Cambridge College where I got my master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis concentrating in autism spectrum disorders. I’ve worked in public schools as a Speech and Language Assistant as well as private companies providing ABA services to clients ranging from pre-school to adults. Seeing clients gain independence is one of my favorite parts of teaching using behavior analysis. In my free time, I like to listen to true crime and dog training podcasts. I also love to play softball and stay active with my new puppy.

 I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from

Evangel University and a Master of Science in Behavior Analysis from Simmons University. For the past 17 years I have worked with children and families as a social worker. It is my passion to work to improve outcomes, build positive working relationships, and find joy in everyday things. I especially enjoy Natural Environment Teaching and using the child’s interests to teach relevant skills. Outside of ABA, I love to read, crochet, and playing The Legend of Zelda. It is always a pleasure to meet new families and I look forward to working with you!
