I am left-handed, but play sports right-handed.

I love to try out new recipes.

Profile

I love to see the progress that our kids make. It is so rewarding to witness them mastering new skills and see how it impacts both them and their family. I truly enjoy working with the most adorable children!

I am married and have two boys. We love to go for walks, bike rides, play games, and enjoy the outdoors together. I also love cooking, traveling, and relaxing at our family cabin up north.

Experience

I have been working with children with autism and other developmental disabilities for over 15 years. The majority of my experience has been creating and implementing behavioral intervention in both center based and in-home settings. Before joining DE, I worked in the public school system as a Behavior Specialist conducting Functional Behavior Assessments and writing individualized behavior plans.
