About

After graduating from Hiram College, with a Bachelors degree in Integrated Language Arts Education, I taught high school for 3 years. During my teaching, I worked mainly in co-teaching settings with students with special needs, particularly autism. I felt a deep connection to the field of Special Education and began working at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner School for Autism as a Classroom Behavior Therapist. After seeing the difference ABA therapy was making on the lives of my students, I decided to pursue Special Education for my graduate study and pursue the Applied Behavior Analysis certificate with the goal of becoming a BCBA and COBA.
