About
I am a graduate student in the Applied Behavior Analysis program at Queens College CUNY. My goal is to obtain my BCBA and work with individuals with developmental disabilities - especially those who have autism. I was inspired to go into this field because my younger brother is on the severe end of the spectrum of autism. I want to be able to help individuals like my brother thrive and live the best possible lives.
