My Story

I have always wanted to be a BCBA. I was planning on getting my bachelors and masters and then getting my BCBA, but when the pandemic started last year I decided to jump right in and get my RBT certification. I realized I can make a bigger difference now in therapy 1:1 rather than in a classroom setting.

My Blue Bird Day

I have heard about Blue Bird Day for a long time and have always been interested in working in their clinical setting.

My Advocacy

I advocate to integrate children with autism or any disability as much as possible. I support Best Buddies, Autism Speaks, Autism Now, and Equal Opportunity Schools.

My Blue Bird Day Goals

  1. I want to eventually get my BCBA and work with my mom (she is also a BCBA).

Testimonials
