Founding Story
My passion throughout my career has always been working with children. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from UCLA. During my time at UCLA, I was fortunate enough to work with Autism treatment pioneer, Dr. O. Ivar Lovaas. During my work with Dr. Lovaas, I received training in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and designed treatment programs for children with Autism. I continue to work in the field of ABA with the Institute for Applied Behavior Analysis (IABA).
