I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology from Weber State University in April 2020, and my Masters of Science from National University in January 2022. I began my career in ABA in a happenstance sort of way but instantly fell in love with the field and knew that I had found my calling. I have worked with learners ages 2-22, and have grown and learned from every individual I have had the privilege of working with.

Neurodiversity- affirming care, client lead play-based practices, and sensory regulation are a couple areas within the field that are incredibly important to me.

In my free time, I love curling up to read a good book, hiking with my husband and two pitbulls, or caring for (obsessing over) my many houseplants.
