Hello and welcome! This is my 2nd year with Jefferson City Public Schools! I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Missouri in 2016. In 2016, I moved with my husband to Carlsbad, California and began working in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). After several years, we moved to Kailua, Hawaii. I earned a Master's Degree in Psychology with a specialization in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) from Capella University in 2022. My family relocated to Missouri and I became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) in March 2023. Before joining the JCPS team, I worked as a BCBA in a clinic setting in Columbia, MO. I love supporting and collaborating with students and staff in my current position!
