What got you interested in working with autism and neurodevelopment?

I have always found meaning in supporting parents and families in navigating behavioral supports. When I had an undergraduate class that strengthened my understanding of behavior analysis and the impact that it can have on autism and neurodevelopment, I knew that was where I was meant to be.

What is your educational background?

I went to Missouri State University and received a bachelor of science in psychology with a minor in childhood and family development and secondary school counseling. Following this I pursued a master of science degree at the University of Missouri in applied behavior analysis where I was first introduced to the amazing team at the Thompson Center.

Where did you work before joining the Thompson Center team?

Before joining the Thompson Center team I worked as a substitute teacher. I started my journey at the Thompson Center as a student and registered behavior technician four years ago.

What are you most looking forward to about your new role at the Thompson Center?

I am most looking forward to collaborating with the amazing practitioners that the Thompson Center has to provide families with a strong interdisciplinary team.

When you’re not working, what do you enjoy doing?

Whenever I am not working I love to spend time with my four amazing nephews and enjoying the outdoors with my fiancée.
