I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA, LBA) with a diverse educational background that spans early childhood intervention (ECI), homebound education and therapy, general education, resource instruction, self-contained autism classrooms, and specialized behavior units. My years in the classroom gave me firsthand experience supporting learners with a wide range of academic, social, and behavioral needs, and shaped my belief that meaningful change happens when we truly understand why behavior occurs. 

​

I learned not only the value of vertical alignment but the difference in a traditional punitive, punishment based system versus a skill-acquisition model based on true, measurable accountability.

 

As a former teacher, I bring a practical, educator-centered perspective to behavior analysis. I understand the realities of classrooms, schools, and teams, and I focus on strategies that are effective, ethical, and sustainable in real-world educational settings. My work emphasizes collaboration, skill-building, and empowering educators and caregivers with tools they can confidently implement.

 

In addition to working with humans, I draw heavily from the study of animal behavior—particularly horses—to illustrate how behavior influences learning, communication, and relationships. Horses, like people, respond to their environment, history, and the behavior of others. Through this lens, I help others recognize how consistency, reinforcement, emotional regulation, and clear communication shape outcomes in both education and life.

​

My passion lies in bridging education, behavior science, and natural learning environments to create compassionate, evidence-based approaches that support growth—for students, educators, and the systems that serve them.
