MA, BCBA, LBA
Owner/Executive Director
From a young age, I've felt a deep connection to children with special needs. During my college years, I had the privilege of assisting a non-verbal young girl, offering support in every facet of her life. Though I began with minimal training, my determination to positively impact her life and the lives of others like her was unwavering.
I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Olivet Nazarene University and pursued further studies in Applied Behavior Analysis at the esteemed Western Michigan University. My hands-on experience was honed at WoodsEdge Learning Center in Portage, MI, and I became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in 2012.
Over the years, I've collaborated with various outpatient clinics across Michigan and Indiana, with a focus on Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention. My passion lies in areas such as potty training, enhancing communication, preparing children for school, developing social skills, and enriching home and community life through parent and caregiver training.
It's my dream for Ripple Effects Autism Learning Center to stand as a beacon of hope, inspiration, and success for both the families we assist and our dedicated staff.
