Having earned a degree in Psychology and then working as a nanny for many years, I decided I wanted to combine my passions and help children with special needs. I became ABA certified and I have held a rewarding position as a Behavior therapist in the Newton Public schools for the last 4 years. Working in a fully inclusive school system has really given me the opportunity to help children with all different abilities. I have experience with children dealing with a wide array of special needs like social, emotional, behavioral, ADHD, and Autism. I love my job and feel so lucky to be able to watch students thrive and succeed in a typical classroom with their peers.
