Since 2012 I have worked with children and adults with a variety of abilities and disabilities. I have a passion for providing care and training in the home and in the community where children spend the majority of their lives. Over my time in the field I have most enjoyed building relationships, seeing children and families develop new skills and improve their lives together.

I have always loved teaching, first as a Karate Instructor, then as an English teacher in South Korea, and now as a BCBA! I received my bachelor's from UMass Lowell with concentrations in Psychology and English and later got my Master's from Arizona State in Special Education with an ABA concentration. I love helping clients find new and different ways to express themselves and their needs. In my free time I love spending time with my family, playing card and video games, and going for very long walks with my family's dog.
