"I arrived at Piecing the Puzzle after spending the past 17 years working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorders in both public and private schools. I began my career as an Assistant Teacher, which then led me to work as a Behavior Specialist for 11 years. My experience in this role contributed to developing my skills in home-based treatment, parent training, staff development and social skill building. My work as a Behavior Specialist sparked my passion for helping children through the science of Applied Behavior Analysis and led me to pursue my BCBA credential by obtaining my Master of Arts in Psychology: Applied Behavior Analysis in May of 2015. My interests include sports and fitness, parent training, and current research within the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. I am thrilled to be a part of the Piecing the Puzzle community and look forward to connecting with staff, children, and their families."

"I’ve dedicated my career to supporting individuals and families across the lifespan. My background began working with teens and adults experiencing serious mental health challenges, and over the years my passion has grown into the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. I earned my Master of Science in Behavioral Education from Simmons College and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in 2008.

For the past 15 years, I’ve served as a Director of Early Intervention for an ABA organization, helping young children build communication, social, and daily living skills during the most critical years of development. I also love running social skills groups and creating meaningful opportunities for kids and teens to connect, grow, and succeed.

While I once thought nothing could be greater than being a mom, becoming a grandmother completely changed my perspective, it’s truly the greatest joy of my life. I’m also still in the trenches of parenting, raising a teenager at home, which keeps me humble, busy, and laughing.

Outside of work and family, you’ll often find me with a good book or enjoying live music at concert venues.

I’m grateful every day to do work that matters while surrounded by the people I love most."
