What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my personal connection to the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. Having a family member who participated in ABA therapy allowed me to witness firsthand the meaningful progress and positive outcomes that evidence-based intervention can achieve. Observing his growth, increased independence, and overall success not only deepened my understanding of the impact of ABA but also inspired my decision to pursue a career in this field. That experience continues to motivate my commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate, and effective services to individuals and families.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering this industry is to be gentle with yourself. This field is both meaningful and demanding, and growth takes time. Give yourself grace as you learn, ask questions, and build confidence in your skills. Trust that your dedication, compassion, and willingness to grow will carry you forward, and remember that progress both for yourself and those you serve is not measured by perfection, but by consistency and care.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in my field is being a one-woman team responsible for making critical decisions. While this level of responsibility can be demanding, I view it as a meaningful opportunity rather than a limitation. It allows me to practice with autonomy, trust my clinical judgment, and grow professionally. Ultimately, the ability to independently guide treatment decisions has been a rewarding aspect of my role as a BCBA and reinforces my confidence as a clinician.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me in both my work and personal life center on helping others succeed. As a BCBA, I find deep fulfillment in guiding individuals through behavioral plans, contributing thoughtfully to their progress, and delivering interventions with confidence and purpose. Providing guidance, leadership, and mentorship to those I support is especially meaningful to me, and seeing growth and positive outcomes as a result of effective behavioral interventions brings me the greatest sense of joy and accomplishment.
