I plan on moving to Morgantown in June 2023. My hope is to pursue a PhD in psychology at the University of West Virginia, beginning in late 2024.

I love the time I spent growing and learning working in the field of applied behavioral analysis and would love an opportunity to work in that field again.

I have worked with mild to moderate, as well as moderate to severe. I am trained in CPI and first aid/CPR. I have a passion for improving the lives of my clients and their families, and would love to continue to do that in West Virginia. I have a valid RBT certification through the BCAB. In my experience, I have worked with students using a number of applied behavioral analysis techniques, including, but not limited to self monitoring and self-regulation, different schedules of reinforcement, token economy reinforcement, functional communication training, and noncontingent reinforcement.

The majority of the clients I worked with were on the moderate to severe end of the spectrum. Have utilized a number of ABA techniques in my behavior therapy, including but not limited to token economy’s, schedules of reinforcement, behavior monitoring, self regulation, and functionat communication training. in my experience, I have worked with client on academic-based goals as well as Social-based goals.
