Success

Success is taking something small and building upon it over time. Creating a solid foundation rooted in integrity, core values and incorporating others who share your values, mission, and passion.

What drives me to succeed?

My clients are my motivation. I am blessed to be a small part of the changes in their lives. Watching them develop new skills, speak their first words, try a new food, play with toys, dress themselves or share laughs with friends drives me to do more every day.

Challenges

As a young woman in the field with a passion for advocating, one of my biggest challenges is being heard. Often it will take a lawyer sitting next to me for people to stop and listen. What we do as behavior analysts is a science, it is not a whim or an idea that might work. Having a supportive team comprised of various professionals has been a tremendous help!
