What would people be surprised to know about you?
That I completed an ABA program 8 years ago but took a break from the field.
Name a cause you are passionate about.
I am passionate about providing informed and ethical care.
Why did you choose MSP?
I chose MSP due to it’s focus on humanistic psychology.
What do you want to do with your degree?
I plan to continue working with adults with disabilities. Potentially expand services and pursue a PsyD in Clinical Psychology.
How did you first get interested in the mental health profession?
Working as a Behavioral Consultant (early part of ABA career), I noticed that most behavior plans did not account for mental health needs. I found this to be damaging to the individual. It is my belief that in order for true behavior change, we need a wholistic approach to the issue, addressing the root cause.
