About Me

I earned my bachelors degree from California State University San Marcos, and went on to receive my teaching certification in early childhood special education from San Diego State University. After moving to Arizona I earned my MA.Ed in Early Childhood and followed with my BACB coursework from Florida Institute of Technology. I am dually certified as a special education teacher and board certified behavior analyst.

I have been working with neuro divergent learners since 2005 and believe in providing assent based socially valid services. I have worked as a special education teacher, evaluator, specialist, behavior analyst and behavior team lead in the public school system. In the private center I have supported the opening of an early learning center, written grants, been on assessment teams, worked as a clinical supervisor and in quality assurance. Additionally I have grown future educators in the Early Childhood Department at Rio Salado College since 2011 and future Behavior Analysts at Simmons University since 2018.
