About
I’m a psychology student at Florida National University working toward my bachelor’s degree and completing an ABA program. I work as a Registered Behavior Technician, where I help children improve communication and social skills through ABA therapy. After I finish my degree, I plan to pursue my master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis to become a BCBA. I enjoy learning about leadership and finding ways to grow both personally and professionally. I also serve as Board Chair for Nenos/Bloom Social, where I help with projects that encourage positive and safe online spaces.
