I’m a recent graduate of Union College, where I received a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience (cognitive track).  Over the last several years of working with children in various roles, I’ve found that guiding them through the learning process and celebrating their successes to be so incredibly rewarding!

I am currently completing a Master's of Psychology in Child & Adolescent Development from Southern New Hampshire University. My prior experience includes three-years of adult special education. What I enjoy most about ABA is genuinely connecting with families, making a difference in a child's life, and continuing to nurture my professional growth. Outside of ABA, I am a "solopreneur" (solo business owner) that educates and develops confidence in young women. I love (American) football, cleaning my car, and socializing!
