I am a published researcher and Behavior Specialist with a background in counseling psychology and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), focused on improving outcomes for individuals with autism spectrum disorders. As a co-author of peer-reviewed research on global autism prevalence, my work contributes to advancing understanding of autism across healthcare systems and informing evidence-based practice and policy. With over six years of experience in rehabilitation and behavioral health, I bring both clinical and research perspectives to my work—supporting skill development, treatment fidelity, and meaningful outcomes for individuals with high support needs. I am passionate about bridging research and practice and contributing to system-level improvements in autism services.
